Watoto African Children's Choir
Recently the church we fellowship at hosted a wonderful concert of the Watoto Children's Choir from, you guessed it, Africa. It was an inspiring evening of song, praise and dance, vibrant in the energy of its' performance and the colors of cultural dress. Safe to say, a wonderful time was had by all.

Family Fun Day 2009
Salmon Arm is blessed to have the Five Corners Pentecostal Church amongst its houses of fellowship. The congregation and leadership of Five Corners are exemplary in love and in caring for the community around them.
One of the outreaches this congregation practices on a regular basis is a Family Fun Day hosted in June each year. Here they share good times over fun, food and music in an open house picnic on the church grounds. As has become custom, the church was joined this year by a group from the Circle Square summer camp at Armstrong, BC, who brought along saddle horses for the kids, and the sweet lady, Joyce Marchant contributed a beautiful pair of Clydesdales which were harnessed up to a pioneer style wagon providing rides to any and all. For those who really get into the pioneering spirit the Salmon Arm Metis Association brought along a Red River Cart that was pulled around by a quad ( Oxen are hard to come by in the Shuswap. ). Fortunately this cart has bearings and doesn't squeal like in the olden days!
Popular amongt the teenagers were the all-terrain mountain boards that the Circle Square crew brought along. The kids would put on safety gear, ride down the hill and get towed back up by a quad that was on hand for the purpose. Meanwhile many of the pre-teens entertained themselves on the BMX track with either their own bikes or on loaners that again the Circle Square group so graciously provided. A particular favorite for the younger crowd was the fishin' pond, where lures had clips rather than hooks and toys rather than fish were the catch of the day.
The sounds of pleasure were constantly erupting out of the inflatable fun house and the bouncing room that were rented for the occasion. Mingling with laughter and glee, the air was filled with the sweet fragrance of free barbeque and the sweet sounds of music from the variety of entertainers present. All in all it was a exceptional day, and although it sounds cliche, a wonderful time was had by all.
The Fun House Was Quite the Rush.
Make Up Anyone?
Food and Fun All At the Same Time...
Candy Anyone?
Everyone Loves Horses...
And Some Just Want Horsepower.
