Town of Battleford parade draws crowd
Under sunny skies, area residents lined the streets of Battleford to show their support for the Town of Battleford’s 34th annual community parade Friday night, cheering on their favourite floats.
The event kicked off at 7 p.m. with many entries decked out in the spirit of Canada 150. The event cap-offed with a fireworks display across from Fort Battleford at dusk.
“It brings the community together,” parks and recreation director Jordan Schechtel said. He was pleased to see the parade come together.
“We don’t have too many summer events, so it’s nice to have something.”
