THERE’ LL BE A LOT of clowning around and other good times as this year’s version of the
Riverboat Days parade takes place Saturday, Aug. 2. It begins at 11 a.m., starting on Park
Ave. just north of city hall and winding down Lakelse Ave. to the Legion. The parade is one

of the more popular events of the Riverboat Days weekend.

Parade to be the largest
in Riverboat Days history

THIS YEAR’s Riverboat Days Parade, sponsored
by Branch 13 the Royal Canadian Legion, is
poised to be the largest in our history, organizers
say.

Joyce Bradley said the parade lineup is being
boosted by a huge presence of Nisga’a dancers
and musicians coming in from the Nass Valley.

She said the opening this year of the new road
to Kincolith has opened the floodgates for a tide

of never-before-seen parade entries from the.

westernmost Nisga’a village.

“T think the whole of the Nass valley is-com-
ing in,” Bradley said. “It’s going to be huge. It’s
going to be way bigger than last year.”

Kincolith alone is sending the Gingolx Cultur-
al Dancers, the Chugalug Band, the Lisims
Men’‘s Choir, the Kincolith fire rescue team and
the Kincolith concert majorettes and band.

“They've got four buses to bring everybody
down,” Bradley said. “This is the first time for
them because the road has been put in.”

She said other Nisga’a performers include the
150-strong Nisga’a Nation Ceremonial Dancers
from New Aiyansh and the 40-member Gitwink-
sihlkh-Nisga’a Lions Club. ” :

lined up.

The CUPE union local from Prince Rupert,
which is bringing a giant octopus, and Northern
Traffic Control are among the newcomers, she
said.

The Prince Rupert-Terrace Pacific Mist
Sweet Adelines, a 12-member a capella singing
group, is also coming,

Upcoming music. festivals have floats to
promote their events - including the Rosswood

Music Jamboree and the Riverside Music Festi- -

val.

Kitimat entrants include Alcan, the Nechako
Theatre and the aluminum city’s 50th anniver-
sary committee,

The parade also. features an array of vehicles
from race cars to RCMP and fire vehicles and
horses frony the Totem Saddle Club.

- A crowd favourite is the giant water fight bet-
ween. local firefighters. that usually takes place
near city hail.

The Salvation Army, will also be collecting
food along the route during the parade.

The parade is run by the Royal Canadian Le-
