The Riverboat Days Parade was as grand as ever, and this year we didn't even need the Terrace and Thornhill fire departments to spray an appreciative crowd with water. It rained!

In spite of the rain, though, spectators numbered in the thousands as we've seen in years past when the sky was blue and the sun was bright. The most common spectator comment was: "It was a quiet parade. What happened to the music?" In part, perhaps, the rain shorted out all the ghetto blasters.
