🎉🐻🍯 WE HAVE OUR FIRST HUNNY POT HERO! 🍯🐻🎉

The Winnie's Hometown Festival Committee is beyond excited to announce our FIRST major sponsor for this year’s festival — and what an incredible start it is!

A huge round of applause for Albert and Sons Service Centre, Continental Motel & Dining Lounge, Robins Donuts & Deli White River , 2-4-1 Pizza, and Buddy Bears Travel Centre, our very first 🌟 Hunny Pot Hero Sponsor ($10,000+ level) 🌟

Their generous support is the first big step toward making this year’s Winnie's Hometown Festival absolutely AMAZING — but we need many more sponsors to help bring this special celebration to life! 💛

This festival is powered primarily by community sponsorships, and every contribution helps us create the magical experiences, family activities, and unforgettable moments that make the Winnie's Hometown Festival so special. 🐻✨

🍯 Be a hero for the festival. Be part of history. Help make the magic happen.
We are actively seeking local, regional, provincial, and national sponsors to help make this year's festival the best one yet!

📢 Join Albert & Sons Service Centre and their sister businesses in supporting this beloved community tradition.
