Ponoka to host Day in the Park summer festival

Warm up your pitching arm and come out and ‘dunk’ local celebrities at Ponoka’s Day in the Park summer festival on Friday, August 23 from 4:00 p.m. – 6:00 p.m. at Lion’s Centennial Park!

The dunk tank will be a popular feature at Day in the Park. You can join the fun for only $2 per ball or three balls for $5.

All proceeds will be donated to the Ponoka Arts, Recreation and Cultural Society (PARCS), a non-profit organization that raises funds to support future recreation facilities in Ponoka, including a new field house.

Some of the celebrities who have volunteered to sit in the dunk tank on Friday include Rick Bonnett, Town of Ponoka Mayor, Albert Flootman, Town of Ponoka CAO, Brett Mauthe, Servus Credit Union Manager, Gary Colyn, Sommer Home Hardware Building Centre Manager and Rob McArthur, Homechurch Pastor.
