The Whitewater Historical Society hosted a Teddy Bear Picnic on Saturday at the Ross Museum. Close to 25 children, with adult accompaniment, participated in the event. They started out inside St. Aidan’s Church where they sang songs, coloured and made a hat. Following a teddy bear/stuffy parade from the church to the picnic area at Ross House, they participated in a trivia contest followed by snacks and ice cream.
