Lighthouse Street Festival Reaches New Heights
August 23 – The 2013 Lighthouse Street Festival was a huge success with new addition the BMX Stunt Show. Jagger Sports Co travelled from Montreal and put on two 20 minute demonstrations of gravity defying jumps for the crowd to enjoy. The BMX Stunt Show was covered by a financial contribution from Superior North CFDC as funded by FedNor through the Local Initiatives Contribution program. The Street festival began at 12pm with sidewalk sales and food specials and then the activities started at different times. Some of the activities included Eric the Juggler, Dottie the Clown, bingo, street dance and music from DJ Mario from Santi Sounds, music from the Age Gap Band, beer gardens, giant inflatables, and more. A Slam Dunk contest was held with proceeds going towards the McCausland Hospital Commitment to Care Campaign. The Campaign also received its first big donation. The McCausland Auxiliary donated $25,000 to the campaign. CAO Carmelo Notarbartolo announced the donation at the festival and said “The dedication that the Auxiliary members display towards their community is outstanding. Their gracious donation of $25,000 to the Commitment to Care Campaign, will significantly help The McCausland Hospital in reaching its goal of $500,000 and providing modern medical equipment for the communities who utilize the hospital.” For more information visit www.terracebay.ca or to see a video visit www.facebook.com/yourterracebay.
