on September 21, 2004Canada Day here is a GREAT family celebration. The Chamber of Commerce(Ali) puts it on and they do a bang up job.
They start off with a parade which is pretty good, they throw out prizes like big chocolate bars and smarties, pencils, flags, good candies-my kids left with an actual full grocery bag of prizes that was thrown out from the floats. Then a pancake breakfast(FREE FOR ALL!), then they have games and contests all day-potatoe sack, three legged race, egg carry, (for both adults and kids)(I beat my husband in the potatoe sack!!!), talent contest, pie eating contest, pie throwing, dunk tank, a big inflatable thing for kids to jump in, duck races and a bbq with burgers and hotdogs all day which is also FREE, everything is free, no charge for any of the things! Then they have the strong man/woman contest which is great fun, and a mini kids strong man contest. Then they have a famliy dance and to top the night off at 11 pm they have a really GREAT fireworks! Honestly, we have friends that move up here for work from Saskatoon, and they said this was unbelievable!!!
