Children's Day
November 17, 2007 |
Belly dancers really got the audience's attention... |
...And the Scottish dancing was a change of pace. |
Four hundred pieces of cake
were served but you had to be fast...
1100 people showed up for the event. |
Here are some of our awesome
Abbotsford Spirit of BC volunteers. |
Some spectators watch the entertainment as others take part in the MacDonald Soccer Toss. |
The UCFV International Department entertained with henna tattooing
and other crafts. |
No event is official without a cake! |
