Heritage Day went ahead in Lloydminster bringing residents to Weaver Heritage Park for family fun.
The event hosted by the Barr Colony Heritage Society, Richard Larsen Barr Colony Foundation and Lloydminster Museum and Archives drew large crowds on Aug. 5.
The event started with a pancake breakfast at 8:30 a.m. running until 10 a.m. under a tent on the south side of Weaver Heritage Park.
Rain was steadily coming down during the pancake breakfast before stopping to allow for some activities around the park.
“The artifact warehouse is where we store artifacts that aren’t on display in the museum, most people know we have a fairly small permanent gallery so we’re not able to display a lot of our artifacts all at once so we have a warehouse where the artifacts are kept, it’s like a storage warehouse,” said Berth Bernard, Heritage Day organizer.
The artifact warehouse was one of many events that residents could enjoy. There was axe throwing, lawn games, archery, the tractor display, crafts such as candle making and live music.
