Portage du Fort Municipal Hall was home to a different kind of holiday party, as it held its first ever . . .
Grinchmas celebration on Sunday, drawing dozens of local families to attend.
The event’s main organizer, Mélissa Soulière, explained that hosting the event was about providing kids in the town with a Christmas celebration of their own while going with an original theme at the same time.
“There was a bunch of other holiday parties and they’re always Santa, so I just decided to go with something different,” she said. “It’s just so they can have a lot of fun and it because it brings everybody out,”
With a number of Grinch-related activities on hand, several kids had a ball at the craft-making table where they fabricated Grinchmas decorations out of paper maché, glue and construction paper. Others spent their energy participating in a series of Grinch-themed ball tossing challenges.
To keep the little ones from going hungry or thirsty, a few volunteers served bowls of nacho cheese Doritos and puffy cheese balls along with cups of juice.
