Weaver Park will be the site of some exciting Heritage Day events this coming Monday.
City of Lloydminster event programmer, Beth Bernard, says the event will feature a ton of fun activities for all ages.
“We will kick off the day with a free pancake breakfast. That goes from 8:30 a.m. to 10 a.m.,” said Bernard.
“We will have a gluten-friendly option available, and the pancake breakfast goes until 10 a.m., or as long as supplies last.”
Following the pancake breakfast, the park is going to be full of various activities.
“We’re going to have games and crafts and activities and candle-making. Some heritage demonstrations, horse-drawn wagon rides,” said Bernard.
“We’re going to have a main stage with live music featuring The Prairie Dogs, and the Rendell House will be open for some self-guided tours. At 2 p.m. the big attraction is the tractor parade.”
Bernard says the tractor parade is always a popular event.
There is also a new addition coming, which she thinks will be a big hit with the younger crowd.
“This year, our new attraction will be the rock climbing wall. It will be right in the park. It’s an attraction that’s going to be brought in just for the day,” said Bernard, adding this year’s Heritage Day activities are presented by Cenovus Energy.
