It has been a community effort to construct the town, including paint donated by General Paints, and lumber supplied by Rona. A multitude of volunteers have worked tirelessly to build the display in time for the July 1 celebration, and Abbotsford Major Bruce Banman even showed up to offer his support. For Banman, the display represents the opportunity for small businesses in Abbotsford to thrive and contribute to the community. “I want future generations to know there is a secure job market here,” says Banman, who believes the western town will become a backdrop for many other events this summer including the Agrifair and the Berry Festival. “I would encourage all businesses to get involved in the Wild, Wild West theme because it’s fun, so let’s have some fun this summer.”
