Rain doesn't stop the Battleford parade, or the fireworks

There's a saying: It never rains on the Battleford parade. It's been proved wrong a time or two in 40 years, but the parade went as planned, and the fans turned out.

BATTLEFORD — Right up until the time the parade was set to start, people were asking if it would still go on. The parade did proceed as scheduled, and despite the pouring rain, the celebration of the 40th Annual Ruby Jubilee Parade continued.

There was still a healthy number of spectators along the route. Children said they came for the candy, while adults said they always attend to see the creative floats each year and they weren’t disappointed.

Fireworks went on as planned later that night, too.
