Pangman —For Canada Day, the Club Carruthers group organized a “stay-at-home parade”, as the parade went through the town streets as residents watched from their homes. The parade started at 1 p.m. with approximately 20 entries.
No candy was thrown out so goodie bags were made up and handed out. The Thrift shop was open in the evening with many Canada Day specials. Goodies were sold at the Community Centre before the fireworks at 10 p.m. A great show of fireworks was set off, sponsored by the Pangman Rec club.
Varying amounts of rain fell in the Pangman area over the June 27 weekend.
