The Kinette Club of Drayton is hosting four fundraising events on May 28, sure to please every member of the family with proceeds from the events going to support community projects.
Popular television show characters Chase, Marshall and Skye of Paw Patrol fame will meet and greet youngsters at the Drayton Agricultural Building (old arena) parking lot, 49 Elm Street from 9am to 1pm. Children are invited to have their picture taken with one or all three characters. The trio will be available until all guests have had an opportunity to meet with them. In case of rain the event will take place inside the agricultural building.
A second fundraiser running from 9am to 1pm at the same location is Drayton’s first Touch a Truck event. Fire trucks, a grader, snow plow, high hoe, tractors and more will be on display for young and old to meet the drivers and explore the vehicles.
The Kinettes annual Spring Mom to Mom Sale runs from 9am to noon inside the agricultural building. Gently used toys, clothing, equipment and books will be on sale. Vendors from Pampered Chef to Arbonne and local artisans will also be selling their wares.
At 12:30pm sharp, the Kinsmen Park, adjacent to the Agricultural Building, is the site for a planned Duck Race.
Tickets are $5 each. First place finisher receives $500, 2nd place $300 and 3rd place $200. Tickets are available from any Drayton Kinette, draytonkinnettes@gmail.com or on Facebook.
