ALIENS AND PUMPKIN TOSSERS, You never know who is going to show up on a {float in
the annual Riverboat Days parade. The parade begins at 11 a.m., proceeding down La-
kelse Ave. from the corner of Lakelse and Eby, ending up at the legion.

Thousands to line street
for this year’s parade

BIGGER AND BETTER than ever.

That's what Riverboat Days parade organizer
Joyce Bradley is anticipating for the event.

Thousands cf spectators line the streets for the
parade, which starts near city hall and heads
east along Lakelse Ave. to the Legion.

It starts at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, Aug. 5.

“Everybody loves a parade, it doesn’t matter
if you’re two or 92,” says Bradley.

“It puts a smile on everyone’s face from
young to old,” she said. “It really brings the
community together.”

It’s Bradley’s ninth year overseeing the par-
ade.

This year brings some new floats, she said.

It’s often an opportunity for a business or or-

ganization to enter a float lo showcase their ac-,

tivities, she added. Lo
For the first time, she said, the Terrace Beau-
tification Society will have a float in the parade.

So will a group promoting a Class of 1965 re-
union.

Also appearing will be two floats from Prince
Rupert - one from the cily there and another
from a Rupert theatre group.

Unusual performers may include a local belly
dancing group and a 10-foot tall clown on stilts,
she said.

“It’s one of the biggest parts of Riverboat
Days and one of the biggest gatherings for the
whole weekend,” Bradley said.

“Every year we get more and more people
out,” she said. “There must have been 5,000
people lining the streets las! year.”

The increasing popularity can mean traffic
congestion downtown and scarce parking,

But one way to avoid that is to take advant--

age of free.and expanded bus service that will be
available this year to help transport people to
Riverboat Days events.
