Whoop-Up Days!

       So many of you asked back in August when we posted photos of the parade we participated in the following question:
"What is a Whoop Up Day?"  Here is the official definition and logo. You could join us next year!

Whoop-Up Days is an annual festival, exhibition, and rodeo held in Lethbridge, Alberta, for five days in the last full week of August. 

The event includes a 4-km parade through downtown, daily concerts on the Gas King Stage in Pioneer Park, the RAM CPRA Pro Rodeo, in the South Pavilion, and the Westcoast Midway, featuring the reverse bungee jump. There's so much more happening on the Main 




Pavilion, GrandStand and Festival Street.

We got ready for the Parade by washing the new van and the trailer.

It was a rainy morning early - but by the time we started the parade
it had warmed up and the sun was shining!

Here is our mighty chariot ready to enter the parade.

And the whole gang who participated!

All those Princesses and friends with Eleni!

And Shanika got to greet them too!

We had well known celebrities in the parade!

A couple of our Amazing Youth who joined the fun!

Margaret had her buddy along for the walk!

We wore our hats and some of our Amazing Kids walked along greeting
all those who were watching the parade. 

Margaret was our faithful walker who kept an eye
on our bikers and walkers.

Our Fearless driver - and you don't see his faithful side-kick sitting in the
back helping kids in and out of the van when they are tired.
Thanks Howard and Jack!

We even made it on the local TV station.

We have made it through our first parade and are ready to up the stakes next year.

Now on to our year with the Amazing Kids program which begins October 5th at 3:30 pm
