The Border City’s favourite kick-off to August returns this Monday as Weaver Heritage Park is hosting Heritage Day.
Hosted by the Barr Colony Heritage Society, the Richard Larson Barr Colony Foundation and the Lloydminster Museum + Archives, Heritage Day celebrates and commemorates Lloydminster’s history and heritage.
The fun starts with a free pancake breakfast from 8:30 – 10 a.m., with gluten-friendly breakfast available while supplies last, and activities start at 10 a.m. and run until 3 p.m.
All of the day’s family-friendly activities are free of charge and include block party games, candle making, carnival games, classic car display, crafts, a farmers’ market, food vendors, hands-on-heritage old-fashioned games and activities, heritage demonstrations, horse-drawn wagon rides, live music from The Prairie Dogs, a petting zoo, tours of Rendell House and a tractor display.
All attendees are also reminded of the Hot Doggers agility shows at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. as well as the antique tractor parade at 2 p.m., which is always a crowd favourite.
This year’s legacy sponsor is Newcart Contracting Ltd. and heritage sponsors include Bexson Construction Ltd., Capstone Denture & Implant Center, Harris Electric Lloydminster, Musgrave Agencies, Redhead Equipment, Richardson Pioneer, Sobeys Lloydminster, Stuart Wright, Synergy Credit Union, and Tim Hortons.
