The joy of Christmas giving is coming early this year.
The Salvation Army Food Bank is hosting Christmas in July on Friday, July 12 from 3 to 7 p.m. at Marine Park.
Everyone is encouraged to bring non-perishable items or they can donate into the kettles.
“It’s going to be like a family fun day,” said David Byers, Salvation Army community care co-ordinator.
“It’s just going to be an absolute fun day.”
Entertainment at the Marine Park Gazebo will include Abe Zacharias, Sons of the Hayride, Christine Day, The Good News Quartet and more.
Activities for the kids will include Girl Guide-hosted carnival games, face painting and large inflatables provided by the Shuswap Community Church.
The Lions Club will have their concession cart on-site, with all the proceeds going to the Salvation Army Food Bank.
Also, don’t forget to visit the Salvation Army thrift store for Christmas specials.
