There were approximately 15 entries in the parade. Afterwards, many people headed to the Mundare Recreation Centre to take in the bench show which featured 41 exhibitors. Bench Show Chair Irene Talaga was pleasantly surprised by the favourable turnout and commented on the increase in entries in the junior categories, kids 10 and under, and between 11-17 years of age.

The Grand Aggregate winner was Sharon Dembicki, who has participated in the event for the past 10 years. The highest number of entries she’s ever had in a show is 60. She specializes in baking, and also featured several outstanding photographs. On Main Street there were street vendors, bean bag games, bouncy houses, live entertainment, tug of war, and bucket brigade challenge.
