CLOWNS AND PARADES

go together along with the myriad other items that make up the
largest event of Riverboat Days. The parade bagins at 11 am. Saturday, winding down
Lakeise from city hall to its Stopping point at the Legion. That's where judges will render their

verdicts on the winners of the various parade entry categories.

Colourful parade
held on Saturday

THINK OF Riverboat Days and
you think of the Saturday morn-
ing parade.

It’s easily the best attended
event of Terrace’s August long-
weekend celebration.

The longtime sponsor of the pa-
rade, Branch 13 of the Royal Ca-
nadian Legion, is back again this
year and chicf organizer Joynce
Bradley has been gathering entry
forms,

‘We're going to have a number
from out of town,” said Bradley,
“There’s two from Prince Rupert
and one from Houston.’?

New entrants already entered
this year are the local post office
and the Irnlybird outlet,

Floats are gligible for four cate-
gories of awards — commercial,
non-commercial, groups and
vehicles.

Last year’s overall winning
eulry was a float entered by The
Terrace Inn, featuring a band that
was playing at the time at the es-
tablishment.

Parade watchers can expect to
see a traditional entry again with
a float from former Caledonia
students celebrating their 25th an-
niversary of graduation.

But there’ll also be a special
reunion float this year from
people who graduated over the
years from Skeena school and its
predecessors.

“I’m told there could be more
than 200 people walking with this
float. I think it’s a great idea,’’
said Bradley.

Parade entrants begin lining up
on the stretch of Park Ave, be-
tween Eby St. and Sparks early
Saturday morning.

As the parade grows over the
years, entrants now spill over to
the stretch of Park between
Sparks and down past the medical
building,

“We might even get as far as
the library,’? said Bradley.

Parade judges walk that mar-
shalling route before the parade
Starls and make their final selec-
tions from their viewing platform
on Lakelse Ave.

Winners are announced al the
Legion building after the parade’s
conclusion,

The parade begins al 11 a.m.
from the corner af Eby and Park
and then turning down Lakelse
Ave. vo. Rtg a an

At the front will be the Royal
Canadian Legion’s colour party.
They'll be joined this year by
the local air cadet’s colour party,

‘Come and enjoy fresh Dungenous Crab and Halibut & Salmon.”
