The 95th Morrin homecoming took place over the weekend and the reaction by those in attendance is a positive one.
The posts on the social media group created for the event have been very positives with many thank you’s for making the event happen.
Friday night the event kicked off with registration at the arena and free mini donuts sponsored by Western Financial in Drumheller.
A pancake breakfast kicked off the festivities on Saturday morning and at 11 a.m. the homecoming parade rolled through the village with something for everyone to smile about.
Saturday afternoon the kids zone opened to keep the little ones entertained near the arena. There was also many food and concession stands, as well as free tours of Morrin on a train or by horse and buggy, bread baking, a cake cutting and the Morrin Fire Department fireball competition.
Deb Wynia, a member of the planning committee for the homecoming said the event was “fantastic.”
She said 600 people came to the roast beef supper prepared by Country Cookers that took place at the arena on Saturday evening.
“There was a lot of people that did a lot of stuff (to make) it happen. I can’t even begin to say the things that were said. I never heard a negative thing and I am sure I would have heard it,” she said.
“People were saying the committee did a bang up job,” she told the Mail.
The event wrapped on Sunday with another pancake breakfast and interdenominational church service at the Morrin United Church.
