Village Squire, 1978-06, Page 36pmik AIBIL downriver and out of sight. To list all the activities of Klondike Days in detail would fill a small book. So here's just a brief rundown of other happenings:. A Band Extravaganza, featuring some of the finest marching bands in North America; free entertainment on stage daily at noon at various locations in the downtown core; a daily Fun Tub Derby with drivers of questionable skill piloting rather unusual machinery; Garden Parties on the grounds of the Legislature, site also of the Great Tray Races (object of the event is to race across the lawns carrying trays laden with mugs of beer, without spilling the suds); a Klondike style decathlon featuring rocklifting, arm and leg -wrest- ling, flour -packing, log -chopping etc. Taking place at the same time as Klondike Days is the annual Edmonton Exhibition with games of chance, a huge midway and all the carnival trimmings. There's a gambling casino and the thrill of thoroughbred racing at Northlands Park which borders the midway. A must for the youngsters is a miniature version of the Chilkoot Mine where you can actually pan for real gold nuggets. And there's more, much more like the Coliseum of Stars, featuring top performers from around the world, agricultural exhibits and events, a Klondike Village and Klondike Mike's Saloon. Launching Klondike Days and the Exhibition is a giant parade with 90 entries ranging from marching bands, to floats, and clowns --it's a color spectacular that takes an hour and a half to pass any given point.
