Scope and Content: Sylvan Lake News, 1913 Days Parade, June 14, 2012; Centennial Committee on a float

Notes: Innisfail Pipe Band followed behind the RCMP and Legion colour party providing appropriate marching music; The Heart & Stroke Foundation's Big Bike was short a couple of propellers but the team who pedalled around the parade route appeared to do a good job raising money and awareness for the organization; One of the first place winners in the parade competition was the Sylvan Lake Centennial Celebration with their horse drawn wagon, H. J. Cody cheer squad and a couple of outriders; The miniature horses and wagon of LanTin Ranch tied for third place in the parade judging; Members of H. J. Cody High School's cheer squad performed along the route as part of the Sylvan Lake Centennial Celebration entry; They bowled all the way along the route. The float from Railside Bowl and Pizza Hut included a group who hastily set up pins and then threw balls to knock them down; The contingent from Servus Credit Union tied for first place in the best float competition; Street curbs were lined with people, several thousand by our estimate, as the 1913 Days parade moved past them Saturday afternoon
