We were fortunate to have athletes and coaches from Russell and Winnipegosis join us for the potluck dinner, dancing and fun.<\/p>\n

53 athletes, coaches and volunteers danced the afternoon away and $2212.00 was raised in our 50\/50 pledge draw. $1106 was given out to 3 lucky winners-1st $553.00 Leanne Hutman, 2nd $331.80 Shirley Todosichuk, 3rd $221.20 Kolton Leslie.<\/p>\n

The top 6 pledge raisers received one of the many great prizes provided by the Parkland Region. Spot dance prizes were also given out throughout the afternoon to those on the dance floor. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/br>Darren Boryskavich, Parkland\u2019s World Olympian from Russell was also honoured and shared his experience competing in the 2017 Special Olympics World Winter Games in Austria last month with Cobras Coach Cecil Ames.<\/p>\n

Darren won bronze in the 100m snowshoe, 200m snowshoe and gold in the 4x100m snowshoe relay. Darren is an inspiration to all of our athletes and his determination, commitment and hard work are qualities of a true Olympian. <\/p>\n
