The Party in the Park and Canada Day Colour Run started with an explosion of colours and ended the same.
A sense of community, joy, and culture were all showcased when Vegreville celebrated Canada’s 158th Birthday on July 1 at Pysanka Park. One of the main attractions was the popular Colour Run with 212 cheerful participants in its third year at Vegreville.
The park was crowded with numerous attractions that were enjoyed by all such as inflatables, face painting and henna, mini golf as music flowed through the park.
The live music started with Samantha Rarama’s youthful and lovely voice leading attendees in singing O’ Canada. The Abraham Lake Singers performed indigenous music which drew a large crowd and found a young gal dancing to their performances. After this, the Rockzilla band rocked the park with their energetic performance.
A sparkling set of fireworks over the trout pond was the finale wrapping up the day’s festivities.
