Hurray! Hurray! For Canada Day

Jul 04, 2013

Well the weather could have been better, but it also could have been worse but that did not keep patriotic celebrants from enjoying a plethora of activities put on by countless community/recreation groups and their army of volunteers, who work so hard every year to make Canada Day one to remember in North, Central and South Frontenac. Revelers from here and afar took part in the numerous parades, flotillas, and a wide variety of all day festivities in Sydenham, Harrowsmith, Arden, Verona, Sharbot Lake, Parham, Matawatchan, Snow Road, Ompah, McDonalds Corners, Ompah, Wilton and Denbigh. Activities included duct tape boat races, scenic cruises and of course, a wealth of children's activities, plus live musical entertainment on many stages by many local musicians - and lots of food of course. Many celebrations of course ended with spectacular fireworks in the sky. And so once again ended another birthday party in Canada and it seemed that another very good time was had by all who said phooey to the thermometers and the clouds overhead.
