Chairman Bill Doherty says they get participants from across the country, “We’ve got all ten provinces and we received an entry from a fella coming from Iqaluit. So we have at least one territory this year.”
There are a number of events today, and tomorrow, leading up to the All day Main Street car show and street party, that will be held on Friday. That will close down Main Street for the day and part of the night.
Doherty says, “We have a great cast of celebrities coming this year, with great entertainment. The free downtown concert will feature Glass Tiger this year.”
