Canada Day is coming up this week… One day of the year when Canadians seem to show a large amount of pride. Too bad all the people who spent the last month driving around with their “home” country flags for the World Cup on their cars could not put our maple leaf up!
Canada Day has a lot to offer for us!
Start the day in Glen Williams with breakfast! There celebrations run from 8 to 4! One of the highlights is the Canada Day parade. During the day they have face painting, music and a variety of vendors and entertainers. Of course the annual duck race goes at 4 pm! One of these days I hope to win something!
In the evening the Acton BIA has a host of events on at Prospect park. Concerts in the Park, starting at 6 p.m. until dusk in Prospect Park’s Rotary Bandshell. Activities include a bicycle parade for kids, ages 5-12, decorate your bike in red and white to celebrate Canada and you could win a prize! Local entertainment provided by: 2009 Acton Idol winner Kelsey Kirkpatrick, Robert Little Everybody Dance Club, Jay Force Acton Baptist Church Youth Choir, Leanne Marie Pettitt School of Highland Dance and lots more for the family to enjoy!
Then the Acton Fire Fighters Association is hosting its annual Canada Day fireworks display at Prospect Park, starting at dusk. Firefighters will be accepting donations at the gate to help cover the costs of the show. They pass the boot and the money they raise stays in the community!
Our ancestors came to Canada, toiled and worked the land and help build the Country. They all came here seeking a better life and a great Country.
We live in a Awesome Country!
Happy Birthday Canada!
