Fathers and daughters share special 'Hollywood' night
by Cassie Kushniruk for purchase on March 5 at the Red Brick Arts Services office, and the Galloway Station
Centre, the Town of Edson Community Museum.
The bond shared between a father and
daughter is a special one, however, due to work
conflicts or other engagements, father-daughter
time can be limited. “Fathers don't often have
the time to spend a special night with their
daughters,” said Edson Recreation and Culture
Programmer, Ali Broda.
In 2017, Broda got together with FCSS
manager, Tanya Beyers, to discuss the
possibility of holding second annual Father-
Daughter dance that would allow fathers to
strengthen their relationships with their
daughters.
“We have such busy fathers, and they value
time spent with their daughters,” said Broda.
“An organized evening can make moments
between a father and daughter extra special.”
On February 22, the Town of Edson
Community Services held their 2nd Annual
Father Daughter Gala at the Galloway Station
Museum. With the theme a “Night in
Hollywood”, fathers and daughters were
encouraged to dress up and pose for a photo on
the freshly constructed red carpet. They were
able to take the photo home with them at the
end of the night.
A few different types of dances were also
taught to the group, courtesy of Claire and Amy After just learning how to two-step, many of the father daughter duos caught on quickly and
of Edson Dance Enthusiasts. Dinner was danced the night away. photo Cassie Kushniruk

even spoiled with a delicious chocolate fondue
fountain with a variety of fruits and snacks.
Apart from the dinner and dancing, numerous
door prizes were drawn that were donated by
various local businesses. Donated flowers and
bath bombs were also gifted to each daughter at
the end of the night, along with a framed father-
daughter picture courtesy of the Town of Edson.
“Those donating see the importance of this
special evening for fathers and daughters to
spend together,” said Broda.
“The fathers and daughters were able to spend
quality time, and see the importance of their
relationship and the effect the father-daughter
bond has on daughters as they grow up,” said
Broda.
The night was full of love, laughter, and fun,
and the museum was packed full of fathers and
daughters sharing this special night together.
“We completely sold out,” Broda said. “This
year we set an age restriction of 6+, and it was
still selling as quickly as the year before with
no age restriction.”
The Father Daughter Galas will continue to be
held annually, and if you are looking for a
mother-son event, the Town of Edson
Community Services will be holding a Mother- Shane and Vonn Schell with other dads and daughters dancing in the background at the
son Soiree at the Galloway Station Museum on Father-Daughter Gala held at the Galloway Station Museum on February 16. photo Cassie
