CANADA DAY
CELEBRATIONS IN BLENHEIM
The Canada Day celebrations, sponsored by
The Blenheim and District Ministerial
Association, will take place this year on
Tuesday July 1st at Glad Tidings
Community Church. Last year, approx 2000
people were in attendance to enjoy the
evening of activities. The purpose behind
the event is to plan a family oriented
celebration for our area. We believe that it
is very important that the rural communities
of Chatham-Kent have events that bring
families together and uplift the community
through fun and fellowship.
The Canada Day activities, which begin at
6:00 pm, will be bigger and better than ever
before. On the stage this year and
performing will be the following
entertainers:
-
Jade Lester –
country/pop singer/ songwriter
-
“Faithful Friends”
– country /gospel band
-
The Stick People
Ministry Team
-
The Blenheim-Kent
Golden Eagles Gym Club
-
The Alexandria
Dance Studio
-
The Christian Rock
Band - “Onycha”
In addition there will be organized
activities for the children at “Kiddy Land”
that with feature face painting, games and
more.
New this year will be the inflatable bouncer
and maze that will be enjoyed by the kids
and their parents.
The Old King Coal Railworks interactive
display has proven to be a very popular
display that will entertain kids of all ages
for hours.
Then there will be the Food Concession
Stands with hotdogs, pop, bottled water,
popcorn and cotton candy and old fashioned
prices.
At 9:00 p.m. there will be greetings from
our local Chatham-Kent Councillors and Dave
VanKesteren, our Federal Member of
Parliament. This will be followed by the
singing of our national anthem “O Canada”
and then Birthday Cake will be served to
everyone in attendance.
The highlight of the evening will be the
fantastic pyrotechnic fireworks display
presented by Brad Powell of Garden City
Display Fireworks. This year’s display will
be larger than last year’s and will include
a professional choreographed musical display
that you will not want to miss. |
