All events will be held at the Dwight Community Centre. Cost of admission is $4 per person or four for $12. “It’s a great opportunity to get out and have a fun day. A lot of times when you try to go out it’s a little expensive. But for a family of four it’s $12 and you can have an entire day of fun,” said West.
