The 13th Annual Okotoks Teddy Bear picnic was a success again this year!

The event allowed families and their favourite stuffed friends to get together with other residents in town.

Sherri Mullen, coordinator for the Family Resource Centre, says along with the fun family activities there's an educational aspect about the services in the community.

This event is not only fun for kids but a great way for parents to have a look at some of the services know in the community.

"They can meet all the service providers in the Foothills that are here to help families... It establishes those connections so people know where to go to get help if they need it," Mullen says.

Courtney Vines, another event coordinator, says her favourite part is seeing different families bonding.

"We love to see families, parents and kids having a good time together and enjoying the activities."
