Havre Rotary Club treats children to pizza, games and prizes

The Havre Rotary Club treated Lincoln-McKinley Primary School students to a night of pizza, games and prizes Thursday at Creative Yogurt, a yearly event for the club which appears to have been their most successful in years.

Club President Dawn Ward said it was a great night and she was told by many people that it was better than they'd seen in some time.

"Everything went fantastic," Ward said. " ... It was a great night for everybody."

This is something the club does every year, she said, but they haven't done it for the last two years because of the COVID-19 pandemic, so she's glad they had such a good turnout this year.

She said Creative Yogurt was a really ideal location for them owing to having a lot of space, arcade machines and a variety of food offerings for the children, and she's strongly considering trying to come back next year.

In 2021, Ward said, the club instead staffed their booth at the Great Northern Fairgrounds passing out coupons to children to use the Spook House and other Halloween attractions there.

This year, she said they did something similar as well, passing out apple cider, hot chocolate and caramel apples to children this weekend.

Ward said she wanted to thank the community for the support and the staff from Lincoln-McKinley who were also great, providing them assistance making sure everything went well Thursday night.
