Construction delays celebration until next week ARNE PETRYSHEN Rossland News Editor
This weekend, Rossland was to have a grand celebration to celebrate the completion of the Columbia-Washington downtown project, unfortunately Tuesday’s huge snowfall delayed construction and the possibility of having the celebration Saturday.
The celebration will go on though, one week later, with times and places staying the same. “Although it was a difficult decision to reschedule, we want to ensure a safe and completed downtown for all to enjoy,� Rossland Mayor Greg Granstrom explained. “There are only a few final touches to be added, but we feel it’s prudent to wait
until Nov. 3.� It will all be held next Saturday in downtown Rossland. Renee Clark, executive director of the Rossland Chamber of Commerce., said that the events begin at noon and will go until 4 p.m. Events include music, food, Kidzone activities and shopping. Local businesses will be holding off their sales and pro-
motions until next week as well. The schedule is as follows: A 2 pm meeting spot at Columbia Avenue and St. Paul intersection > 2:20 p.m. - ribboncutting ceremony at Columbia Ave and St. Paul > 2:20–2:30 p.m. – community procession down Columbia Ave – bring your wheels: bikes, strollers, rollerblades >2:30 – history is made - a community photo will
be taken near Harry Lefevre Square >2:40 – head to Washington Street for cake or Harry Lefevre Square for music. Volunteers are still needed, so please contact Clark at the Rossland Chamber of Commerce at 250-362-5666 if you are able to join the fun.
