Celebrate Canada Day this Thursday afternoon in downtown Bear River.
17 local artists and studios will show and tell their craft and techniques with ongoing live demonstrations. This includes Wild Rice Pottery, Redhanded Pottery, Green Willow Studio, Raven Winds Studio, Charles Couper Studio, Ray Sanford Studio and more!
Live music will be presented by Harvey Marcotte and friends.
Games and activities will be ongoing all afternoon at the waterfront including a bike rally and pet parade.
Don’t forget to have a piece of the Canada Cake and to celebrate the opening of the Visitor Information Centre at the Oakdene at 3 pm!
Local businesses will have in-store specials all day long. Be part of history as ‘Main Street’ is blocked to vehicular traffic all afternoon.
Presented by Canadian Heritage, Bear River artists and businesses and the Bear River Board of Trade.
I would like to thank all those who participated, either by displaying their skills, helping out or by most importantly attending, socializing and enjoying the day. Canada Day was truly reflective of our culture, heritage and social diversity. The event highlighted what makes this village the place we all our proud to call home!
Congratulations!!!!!! This is what a community celebration is all about. Well done! So many people putting out positive energy and lots of it!!! Music, artists, kids, food, laughter – LIFE. Thanks to everyone in the village that worked so hard to make it happen – much appreciated.
Glad you had a great time Carol! It was super to see so much creativity in one place and to meet residents I’d never met before. Maybe we should block the street off more often. It made for a wonderful social experience, didn’t it? Thanks for your contribution too!
Hello Carol – I was thinking of you and all the friends and hoping that all is well. Haven’t been on the wonderful Victory in awhile but it’s always on my mind. Plan to get there this year for I miss the all of it. Keep well and be in touch. Michael
