Amara Haywoodis one of those guests: Snow White.

She andthree otherprincesses visited Prince Albert and North Battleford on Wednesday.

"The mood hasn'tbeenthat bad, considering the situation families are in," she said.

Haywoodsaid she and her royal cohorts have been spending time with evacuatedkids, listening them to tell stories about what's it been like away from home.

A really touching moment, she said, was when a young girl "wrapped her arms around me and fell asleep."

The girl's mom explained to Haywood that her daughter wasn't sleeping much at night, because she'sscared to be around so many other people in a large evacuation centre.

"Parents seem to be coping," and people are generally trying to lift each other's spirts at the centre, Haywood said.

Haywood's next stop for the day was North Battleford, where she travelled with Sleeping Beauty and Cinderella.

Haywood's store teamed up with Cameco to send their staff which alsoincludes Elsa from Frozen and Belle from Beauty and the Beast to brighten the day of young evacuee.

On July 7, they visited children at the Cold Lake, Alta. shelter.

Cameco, with help from other local companies including West Wind Aviation, is taking a travelling kids carnival and supplies for families to several locations this week.
