The thrills were sheep, but they sure weren鈥檛 cheap for Interior Provincial Exhibition Parade winners.
With approximately 90 entries this year, there were bands, floats, livestock entries and vintage vehicles 鈥� all celebrating the IPE, presented by the Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce, and this year鈥檚 theme of Sheep Thrills.
鈥淎 big thank you to all the participants and volunteers. The parade was marshalled by longtime volunteer Wayne Friesen of Country West Supply in the staging area graciously provided by Rancho Vignola,鈥� said Patti Noonan, Chamber executive director, in a release.
鈥淥kanagan Traffic Control again provided exceptional flagging made easier with barricades provided by Nor-Val Rentals and the City of Armstrong. Amazing community support makes this event possible.鈥�
Judging was also a volunteer effort 鈥� and was a tough job again this year.
