Turnout was so good at the Small Town Saturday Night fundraiser that organizers were scrambling to find more drink mix.

Lisa Bart, vice president of the Nokomis Early Learning Centre board, said the sold-out event was their biggest since their first, five years ago.

The money raised will go toward the backyard play space.

“We have a lot of improvements to do. We focused more on the building when we were starting up and now its time to turn our attention outdoors.”

About 40 to 50 sponsors contributed to the event, she said. She also credited other board members for their work.

 

“I can't start thanking people becasue I wouldn't stop.”
