Myrnam Fair Days Parade

Emily Mailhot Reporter – Vegreville News Advertiser

On July 19 and 20, people from in and around Myrnam celebrated sunny summer days with their annual Myrnam Fair Fun Days.

The weekend events kicked off with a supper of steak, chicken, hamburgers, or hot dogs provided by the Agricultural Society. The plates varied in price, with children ages six and under invitedeat for free, to make sure that families of all shapes and sizes could enjoy the meal. Throughout the evening, kids activities and face painting were accompanied by baseball and bean bag sports events, as well as an antique car show. Fireworks signalled the end of the evening.

On Saturday, the fun started up again bright and early with a pancake breakfast while the parade floats assembled to start at 10:30. Families lined the streets, eager to catch candy and even a few soft toys.

Included in the parade floats were local businesses, volunteer organizations and services, and politicians.

Hamburgers were served at the arena concession, or a Perogy dinner at the Senior’s Centre offered the chance for those out to enjoy the fair to fill their plate in the company of friends and neighbours one more time before heading home to wind down from the weekend activities.
