This year’s Canada Day celebrations in Bruderheim were definately wonderful to behold on Monday. According to Bruderheim Mayor Karl Hauch, the day was divided into three segments, with activities taking place during the morning, afternoon, and evening. During the morning, there was a pancake breakfast which was well attended. Hauch says there were often people standing in line waiting for places to open for seating. There was also a parade through the
morning with a total of 45 participants who were treated to food at the school afterwards. During Monday afternoon the town celebrated the grand opening of their gazebo, which they celebrated with cake for the guests as well as the presentation of a plaque. CFCW was on site through most of the afternoon as well. For the children there was a bouncy castle, a caricature artist, a clown and many other activities to help keep them entertained. Along with the multiple outdoor activities, there were also plenty of things going on indoors for those who wanted a short reprieve from the
blaring sun. Inside of the Lions Den there was an art show, and inside the seniors centre was coffee and dessert served throughout much of the day. Finally, there was a pork supper that was provided by the Maschmeyer family. “Every person I talked to said it was a great meal,” added Hauch. Also, for the guests, entertainment was the live band Jukebox Leigh who did multiple impersonations of many different bands including Ozzy Osbourne. Jukebox Leigh also treated the guests to a rendition of O’Canada before the evening fireworks began. “I couldn’t say one
part was better than another” says Hauch, adding that there was lots of positive feedback. “The main person planning all of the events was Judy (Koschade)” he says, along with all of her volunteers. H a u c h says one thing that stood out for him was all of the people that had attended from many different places. “There were lot’s of people I didn’t recognize.” Many of these people were from other communities in Lamont County, as well as from Fort Saskatchewan. “We’re always affected by the weather, and this year, it was great.” The Village of Chipman’s centennial float was one of the 45 to take part in this year’s parade.
