WAVERLEY: It was a weekend filled with fun and activities as the community celebrated Waverley at Gold Rush Days.

From Klondike Night, to the Family Fun on the Green, Chickenburgers at the Heritage Museum, Shaydid performed at the Village Green Concert on Saturday night, Duck Div, the Show N’ Shine Car Show, Treasure Hunt at MacDonald Sports Park and much more, the fun never stopped.

There was plenty to do for residents and those in nearby communities.

The 2026 Gold Rush Days is the events 50th anniversary, so organizers are already eagerly thinking of what that event will involve.
