For those who are rating one year vs. the next - the volunteer fire department are to be commended for making awesome bursts in the night sky with whatever supply the donations allow. Great Job. Special thanks to all who made donations for this event.
Canada Day at Saltcoats Regional Park was a great family day. The fire engine ride lineup was second only to the one at the concession booth for Sharon's overabundant burger. The games on the diamonds, the toddlers in the playground, cake and candy floss for all as well as water activities for kids of all ages made for a great day. If none of this was not an event of choice, there was even a rummage/garage sale. Good time was had by all.
