 Niska-Day:
Celebrating 25 years
Twenty-five years and going strong! On May 20,
join family, neighbors and friends to mark the
silver anniversary of Niska-Day — the
longest-running community celebration in the
area.
Since September, committee members have been planning
and working to make this Niska-Day the most
memorable to date. The parade committee chairs
have been busy recruiting more floats, bands and marchers to
get the party started in proper fashion.
The committee also promises the best
entertainment and food ever provided.
Check out some unusual creatures brought by the
Children’s Museum of Science and Technology.
Youngsters will enjoy story time with Clifford the Big Red Dog.
Magicians, jugglers and clowns will entertain children of all
ages. The more athletically adventurous may test
their skills on the rock climbing wall. Animal
lovers should plan to visit the petting zoo and
ponies.
Annual activities include the craft fair,
information tents featuring local businesses and
civic groups, caricatures — and the Family Fun
Run that kicks off at Van Antwerp Middle School
at 8:30 a.m.
One of the area's mot popular bands – the Burner’s UK– will perform
under the “big tent” beginning at 6:30 p.m. The
day will literally end with a bang (or several)
as a spectacular fireworks display brings Niska-Day
25 to a close.
