Hundreds line streets to enjoy Kinuso Parade

· by ·

Entries may have been down this year but attendance up at the Kinuso Canada Day Parade June 28, held to kick off the Spruce Point Park Rodeo. Perhaps many decided to watch this year instead of participate because crowds lined the streets to watch the entries go by. Children delighted in filling bags with treats thanks to many generous floats which tossed candy to waiting children. Lesser Slave Lake MLA Scott Sinclair and Big Lakes County attended to show support and greet visitors. Results were expected to be announced July 7.

Kinuso Lakeside 4-H Club’s green shamrocks added some colour to the front end of their float.
Swan River Grocery Corporation certainly had one of the most – if not the most – colourful entries with many red and white balloons.
Kinuso Merchantile enters the parade every year. They chose to proudly fly the Home Hardware and Canadian flags and hand out treats.
B. Hunt Express, of Kinuso, decorated a trailer, waved Canada Day flags and handed out treats along the route.
