Pulford Making Splash in Community Pulford Community Living continues to focus on their goals to strengthen relationships between the individuals supported by Pulford and our community members.

After the overwhelmed support Pulford received at the first free BBQ picnic they held last summer, they where pleased to host a second free community picnic this past July.

They had some amazing local sponsors step up, which allowed them to make the event even bigger this year!

It was a great evening for some family fun. The kids had lots to do from the splash pad, glitter tattoos, face paint, reptiles, and bouncy castles along side the BBQ it was another successful event.

Pulford would like to thank everyone who donated their time as a volunteer and the people and organizations who contributed financially to these events. Thank you to Louis and Maria Baltus, Ste. Anne Variety Store, Total Vehicle Maintenance, A & J Fiola Insurance Agency, C.D. Richardson, Caisse Financial Group and the Moosehorn Coop.

Here is a look at some of the highlights of the event.
