Weather forced a last minute change in location for the Winkler Family Resource Centre's annual teddy bear picnic this past weekend.



On Friday it was announced the picnic would be held indoors at the Southland Mall instead of the Bethel Heritage Park.

Winkler Family Resource Centre Coordinator, Cathy Savage says the move appeared to have no effect on attendance.

"We were so happy to work with the mall and be able to have our picnic inside, because it really is a great family day out, and to cancel it would be very heartbreaking to a lot of these kids...everyone involved has put so much work into it, so it's nice it could still go on."

The picnic included stage entertainment, a barbecue lunch, and of course an opportunity for kids to have their teddy bear checked by a number of medical professionals.
