Saturday, June 11th, was the annual sports day in Irricana. Although it was a bit cool at first it became very nice as the day progressed.
To kick things off, there was a huge breakfast on Main Street. This breakfast was cooked by the Lion’s and friends. Paper plates were donated by the Irricana Recyclers and recycled to other uses.
There was a parade in the morning and ball games in the afternoon. A beer garden was held in the afternoon and evening at the Recreation Building (in the curling rink 1p.m. to 9 p.m.
Movie in the Park was held in the evening after 9:30p.m.and there was a kids climbing wall located near the splash park.1p.m. to 4p.m.
Classic cars from the Irricana Country Cruiser Car Club were on main street, from lla.m to 3p.m. with the People”s choice and club awards from 2p.m. to 3p.m.
I think it was a record for attendance for the parade and other events.
