The event his held at the Arctic Winter Games Centre. This year Jacquie and I were the hotdog cookers and we gave out over 300 hotdogs in 3 hours. That was nothing compared to the guys that were doing the french-fries. They had 2 French-fryers going from 11:45 until 3:45 and went through 60 large bags of fries. We couldn't even guess how many orders in total were given out. Also there was pop, juice, chips, and chocolate bars.
There were a number of games and events to keep everyone occupied. Nunavut is in the middle of an election campaign with the Territorial elections taking place on October 28th. Jacquie pointed out 4 of the candidates that are running in Iqaluit. Altogether there are 4 seats up for grabs in Iqaluit and Apex. Anyway, one of the events was a bean bag throw. The way it works is a child gets to throw a bean bag at a target and when they hit it, a balloon full of water lands on someone's head. Some of the candidates,the Mayor and other celebrities took turns being targets. Oh the fun of election campaigns!! :-)
There were clowns and games and events. Everyone had a wonderful time!! Jacquie and I had a wonderful time at the event and it was gratifying to see so many children having so much fun!! :-)
