Thanks Dinotown!



Thanks to Dinotown we were able to end the 2007/2008 Playgroup year with a bang! Dinotown generously provided a free day pass for the families who attend the Chilliwack Playgroup and we were able to have a great year end party. It was a fun way to end the year and the children really enjoyed their time at Dintown.
