| Each year a different marque is featured and this year it was the "Mustang" | ||||||||
| In the past we have started our Easter Sunday off with a pancake breakfast at Westsyde Park. This year Cooper Foods at the Westsyde Mall wanted us to hold our breakfast in their parking lot. As the Mall was under construction and after much discussion at the preliminary meeting for the parade the cooks decided that we would give it a try. After breakfast was over at 11:00 and everything was put away the manager from Coopers came over and said that the Fireman had always sold hot dogs and this year they were at a fire and could not attend. As all their hot dogs, buns and pop were ready to go would we consider starting up our grill up again to serve hot dogs. Our cooks agreed and did it ever get busy. | ||||||||

| As per schedule our parade is to leave at 1:00 pm Our parade Marshall Dick Parkes take his positon on top of the club's fire truck to once again to give final instructions to prevent gaps in the parade. He explains that if we keep close contact with each other the parade does go through the red lights as the Police Traffic Section and Shriners Motor Corps are there to help us. Having so many drivers there, all of them don't seem to listen as each year we experience someone stopping for a red light. Don't know if it is a particpate or someone that has worked their way into the parade. | ||||||||

| Thanks to the RCMP Traffic Section and the Shriners Motor Corps for their help each year with traffic. | ||||||||
