Saturday, February 28th from 11am to 4pm
We’re cranking up the heat and pretending that it’s summer for the day at the Habitat for Humanity Thousand Islands ReStore in Kemptville! There’ll be summery music, food, games, prizes, discounts and a silent auction – all to raise funds for building affordable homes in our communities.
Plus, any customer who wears something summery to the party gets 20% off storewide. “You don’t have to wear flip flops, you can wear your winter boots with jeans and a sundress or a Hawaiian shirt, whatever layers you need – just so long as it’s summery!” says Kemptville ReStore Director Lisa Hutt.
“I first started throwing Summer Parties in February back in 1999. It had been snowing for 21 days, no sun. My BFF had SAD. I had to do something. And, so, the Summer Party in February was born,” says event co-organizer Elizabeth MacKenzie. “It was so incredibly therapeutic, like a one-day vacation, I just had to keep throwing Summer Parties every winter, but I’d never thrown one at a store before, and as a fundraiser too!” adds MacKenzie. “The local business owners of Kemptville, Merrickville, Prescott, Hallville and Winchester have been incredible – so generous with their donations and we’re all so excited about the event,” says event co-organizer Amie Seguin, adding, “The mayor of North Grenville is coming – and Moose FM!”.
