Families had a blast at Leader’s Art Night

By Joan Janzen

The sun was shining, combines were busy harvesting, and families were having a blast at Leader’s outdoor Art Night on Wednesday, September 3rd. Local musical artist Alan Hudec entertained the crowd while visitors browsed the crafts displayed at the various booths.

There was woodwork, handmade jewelry, face painting, crochet projects and much more on display at Art Night. While visiting his hometown, Rylan Cocks was on hand offering a free painting workshop for adults and children.

The fun began at 5:00 pm, when visitors could purchase loaded hot dogs and popcorn, with all proceeds going to the Building Homes - Building Hope team, who are planning a mission trip to El Salvador. The group builds homes for families in need.

Carnival games were available for all the kids to enjoy while the adults appreciated having time to visit with friends and family. The evening was a huge success thanks to the organizational efforts of Leader & District Chamber of Commerce and the help of many willing volunteers.
