While there was activities through the full weekend, we were able to capture some of the Saturday fun at the fun fair, washer toss, and ball hockey, in our video story while we were there.
We also got a view of Tide Fest from 100 feet in the air on Enfield Fire’s Aerial as Pat was offered to go on up to get a view.
He also got to see what the back seat of a East Hants RCMP cruiser and handcuffs felt like thanks to Const. Preston Burns. Pat continues to plead innocent.
Sparky the Fire dog from Enfield Fire was also there to say hi to all the kids.
Here is the video story as shot and edited by Matt Dagley.

Organizers say the 50/50 raffle raised almost $3,200, with the winner, Rob Cox of Halifax, getting over $1,592.50. The draw was held on Monday afternoon at the Sportsplex.
After a few weeks to decompress and put together what worked and what to improve on, organizers say planning will start soon for Tide Fest 2025. We will keep you posted.
