Innisfree Canada Day Fireworks Show Impressive Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Hundreds of people gathered together to enjoy spectacular fireworks show at the Innisfree Recreation Park on July 1. Attendees were lounging in lawn chairs, sitting in the bleachers, standing around the fence of the ball diamond or keeping to the back of pick-up trucks to enjoy the impressive display. More spectators could be seen gathered in a parking lot atop the hill overlooking Birch Lake. This was the second-year volunteers with the Innisfree Fish & Game Association hosted the event. Association Vice President Cecil Paranych said, “We wouldn’t have had the opportunity to do this without the support of the community.” Paranych said members had been planning the event for the past month after the Village of Innisfree gave the official go ahead. He said the main reason members wanted to host the event was because they wanted to give back to the community. In return, community members showed up in droves to enjoy the time-honoured tradition.

When I asked citizens what pleasant memories they had from attending Vegreville Pysanka Festival in the past, I received these responses. Lundyn Wyllie said she had too many memories to list. “But performing at the festival when I was in the bilingual program is a highlight for me for sure. We sang at the grandstand, and when they had the stages for music/singing competitions, we performed for those too.” Olivia Sen said her favorite memories are watching the talented Ukrainian dancers. Jane Gray said her fondest memory was buying Ukrainian chocolates at the At These Convenient Locations Yarmarok Marketplace.
