Ready, set, go! The Joussard Bicycle Parade kicked off festivities at Joussard July 1 after opening ceremonies. Anything you can decorate in red and white – bicycles, strollers, golf carts etc. – are included in a parade around the hamlet, led by the fire department.
Hundreds of people attended Canada Day festivities at Joussard July 1. The Joussard Community Association held activities for children and adults inside the hall and adjacent grounds. After a short opening ceremony, about 100 participated in the popular bicycle parade. Afterwards, children enjoyed games and a selection of huge bouncy castles. Children jumped all day for a mere $5. Nearby, others kept cool courtesy of the Joussard Volunteer Fire Department, who provided a steady spray of water for squealing children and a few adults. Supper and fireworks concluded the day. Adults enjoyed cribbage, horseshoes and Wash ‘n Toss. Karaoke and music with Lasting Impressions, then fireworks ended the day.
