We are now just a month away from our 50th anniversary party. The committee has been working hard to provide a fun day for everyone. As of now, we have only 4 entries for the parade! While we appreciate these 4 , we need many more entries. The parade line up is at 11:30. It will go from the park to the east end of Nakamun Drive at noon. We encourage you to please talk to your family and friends to enter your quads, bikes, vintage cars, floats, or walk. Please let us know as soon as possible to ediefry13@gmail.com or 780-446-7011.
Looking forward to your seeing your creativity!
Supper tickets for the 50th anniversary will be on sale at the hot dog lunch on July 1 and also at the village annual meeting on July 9, tickets are $10 for adults and children 10 and up and $5 for children 4-9. Cut-off for ticket sales is July 9, so purchase them early!
The email address that we had provided for parade entry responses in the brochure included with the tax notices and in this post was incorrect, the correct email address is ediefry13@gmail.com. If you have submitted an entry for the parade, please respond again to this new email address. I apologize for the confusion.
We have completely sold out of dinner tickets for the 50th anniversary celebration and have a waiting list for cancellations. If you have tickets that you cannot use, please return them to Marge Hanssen and we will refund the cost of the ticket while we have a waiting list.
Marge can be contacted at 587-986-7885 to either be added to the waiting list or have tickets refunded.
