SookeB次元官网网址檚 Canada Day party wonB次元官网网址檛 include chainsaws or fireworks. But there will still be plenty of patriotism and entertainment, organizers say.
The districtB次元官网网址檚 first official Canada Day celebrations in three years wonB次元官网网址檛 have the much-promised West Coast Lumberjack Shows due to a last-minute scheduling problem.
Earlier it was announced there would be no fireworks over fire concerns and the lack of black powder worldwide.
B次元官网网址淚t cost us a great deal of grief,B次元官网网址� said Al Beddows, one of the Sooke Lions Club members organizing the July 1 event.
Over the years, organizers received numerous requests to bring back logging sports. It would have been the first logging show on Canada Day, although West Coast Lumberjack Shows performed at last yearB次元官网网址檚 Celebrate Sooke! event.
But despite two missing ingredients, there is still plenty to see and do at this yearB次元官网网址檚 Canada Day celebration at Sooke River Campsite from noon to 6 p.m.
B次元官网网址淚n typical Sooke fashion, people came together, Beddows said.
The afternoon headliners include Analog, a band from the West Shore and Sooke singer Janet McTavish. There are also family and children events, magician Donald Dunphy, and other events.
B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 sad we wonB次元官网网址檛 have a logging show, but itB次元官网网址檚 still an opportunity to get together, treat yourself to some food and good fun, Beddows said.
