MOUNT UNIACKE: The sun was shining down on this year’s Uniacke & District Volunteer Fire Department Firefighter fair & parade, creating a fun weekend for the whole family.

The parade saw the fair kick things off on Friday night and picked up once the parade was finished around noon time on Saturday.

There were games for all from axe throwing, to the dunk tank, to a kiddie train and there was even an Ox Pull.

Plus, who can forget the Bouncy Castles.
