STEWIACKE: It was a weekend of celebrating what makes up the Town of Stewiacke and why its so special to so many.
The annual Town Days event was held with many people coming out to take in the events. From the ball tournament, to the fireworks, K-9 Hi-Flyers fun, vendors market, the street parade, and more, there was lots to do to celebrate the town that Stewiacke is.
The Laker News stopped by for coverage of the grand street parade on a lovely Saturday morning, and also was able to check out the vendors market and see the agility dogs with the K-9 Hi-Flyers do their thing.
We even got to see Rec Director Erin win in a battle of the K-9 Hi-Flyers over Mayor Doug Glasser, which was very fun and comical to watch. Good job to you both.
