Oh yeh, a parade!

Written by : Julie Cove

On July 1st the crowds appeared young and old to celebrate our country’s big day with a Canada Day Parade and did we have a fun time!

I don’t know about you but I love parades! … and our Sidney community sure participates in a fun one! For many years I entered my store into the parade, made shirts for over 20 of us and passed 1000’s of balloons and candy pieces into the crowd (and we always had a blast!) but for the last few years I have enjoyed it from the curbside along with my family and friends! What a treat and the day couldn’t have been more perfect weather wise! With this blog in mind I took some snapshots for those of you that were unable to attend and for those of you that would like to see some of the fun sites once again!

What I love about our parade is the opportunity to see the creativity put into the floats, costumes, routines, music and above all the community spirit that is displayed by all, entrants and attendees. People are happy and joyful and you can never have enough of this. I also love the awareness surrounding new businesses, organizations and causes that are exhibited with patriotic celebration in this parade. Thus I’ve included some of the website links for you in case you wish to explore any of these folks that I captured thru my lens.

The Peninsula Celebrations Society certainly deserves a big round of applause for making this such a successful annual event for our community to enjoy! Thank You!

However, this is only one exciting event that Sidney hosts, our calendar is full of summer events for your family and guests to enjoy. Check it out here and make yourself some fun plans.

I hope you enjoy my snaps of this fun, happy and celebratory event! Sorry if I went snap happy again but I just can’t help myself!
