The Weyburn Chamber of Commerce announced the plans for the annual Summer Fair Parade. The Parade will take place on Thursday, July 4th and will launch at 10:30 a.m.
The change in date is in collaboration with the Weyburn Agricultural Society to kick off Weyburn Fair Days.
The deadline to enter a float in the parade is Tuesday, July 2. Parade entries can be registered on the Chamber website or call the Chamber office at (306) 842-4738.
There is no charge to enter the Parade and awards will be given to best entry in three categories of individual, organization and business. In the photo shown above, a 4-H club took part in the parade.
“Every year the Chamber of Commerce works closely with the Weyburn City Police to ensure our parade participants and spectators are safe,” commented Twila Walkeden,
Chamber executive director.
This year the parade route will be modified to avoid the busy construction area associated with the new school and recreation and culture centre on FifthStreet. It’s also important to note that ThirdStreet between Coteau Avenue and Railway Avenue will be blocked off to vehicle traffic.
The parade will line up on Fifth Avenue North just off King Street, and it will begin by going down Fifth Street, turning at Douglas Road and heading south on Windsor Street to First Avenue, over to Second Street and then south from the Court House down Third Street through the downtown to Railway Avenue.
The parade will then head up Second Street to Bison Avenue, and from there to Government Road where the parade will end.
More information about the parade and a route map are available on the Chamber website at www.weyburnchamber.com.
