Once again, Ball developed a festive atmosphere with a live band along with kids' activities such as face painting,
loonie balloonies, duck games, Space Farms animals, itty-bitty fire company, merry-go-round, contests and roller
blading with DJ. There were several visiting mascots such as Claudia Cardinal, Mr. Bean from Dunkin' Donuts, Mr.
