FALL RIVER: Local residents opened up their hearts and did what they could to help the IWK on Thursday Aug. 8.

According to Franchisee of the Fall River Dairy Queen, Peggy Rust, the 2024 edition of Miracle Treat Day was the busiest during their first few years in the community making it a resounding success.

The exact amount raised will be known shortly.

The event saw members of Station 45 Fall River volunteer fire; HRM Mayoral candidate Pam Lovelace; Premier Tim Houston; MLA and Advanced Education Minister Brian Wong; and our own Pat Healey making blizzards and flipping them for customers.

There were a lot of people come in on the sunny day to get a cool down treat in buying a blizzard to support the IWK Foundation.

All net proceeds from Miracle Treat Day were to go to the IWK.

Nick Yeomans, from Station 45 Fall River, was working the drive through keeping the cars moving along nicely on this busy day.

Check out our video story to see how much fun was had, although Pat didn’t have much fun getting replaced after just making three or four blizzards.
