THE RIVERBOAT Days parade will be hitting the
streets this Saturday and organizers will be busy
trying to outdo last year’s performanice.

Last year’s parade, viewed from under a sea of
umbrellas, garnerred 54 entries.

As of last Friday, only 10 entrics had officially
registered with the Royal Canadian Legion, which
organizes the parade. :

But Joyce Bradley, who has been the chair of the
parade committee for the past seven years, says its
not unusual for people to wait until the deadline to
enter and is optimistic about the upcoming parade.

The deadline for cntries was yesterday.

Last year’s parade saw a varicty of floats, bands,
vehicles aud other entries and Bradley says the.
entries so far already include a number of
participants, particularly businesses, new to the pa-
rade.

Bradley is hoping for better weather this year but
would also like to see more @ people obeying the

She says problems occurred last year wien
people ignored the parking ban on Lakelse Avenue,
waking it difficult for floats and people to make
their way through the narrower sections.

“They still squeezed through,’ she says but she .
hopes people will park in the parking lots and side
streets this year inslead.

Two floais were also disqualified from the judg-
ing last year after ignoring a ban against throwing
candy from floats.
