What a Weekend in MacGregor!
What an amazing weekend we just had here in MacGregor!
We kicked things off Saturday morning with the MacGregor Ladies Fun Golf Tournament — huge thanks to Sheila McBurney, Jen Geibsbrecht, and Melanie Peters for organizing such a fun morning filled with golf and laughter.
Then it was off to the MacGregor Chamber of Commerce Fall Fest — thank you to the Chamber members and all the volunteers who made it happen! There was so much fun to be had eating, dancing, and enjoying the energy on Hampton Street.
Sunday kept the momentum going with the Fun Color Run and Walk. A big shoutout to Marc and Jayva for the opening ceremonies and warm-up, Sadie Tait for the great music, and everyone else who contributed behind the scenes.
Also on Sunday, the Parent & Child Golf Tournament at the MacGregor Golf Course was another highlight — thank you to everyone who participated!
Events like this weekend don’t happen without the incredible support of our sponsors — thank you to all who donated! And of course, to the many volunteers who put in countless hours to make each event special and memorable — we are truly grateful.
Finally, thank you to everyone who attended and took part in any part of the weekend. Your support helps keep our community strong, vibrant, and full of life.
Now… on to the next event in October — we can’t wait!
