The Fiddle Contest parade: before and after
August 21, 2013 · 0 Comments
For many of the floats in the Shelburne Fiddle Contest Parade, many hours are involved it he preparation and the end result is that crowds get wowed.
The Shelburne Soccer Club is filled with volunteers who work very hard for their sport. From volunteer coaching to making floats, to selling hotdogs in the BIA sponsored open market, this sport takes its sport seriously.
Volunteer and Vice President of the Shelburne Soccer Club had this to say as he performed the finishing touches on the Soccer Club’s float for the upcoming Shelburne Parade held on Saturday, August 10.
“I’m guessing between all of us, it’s taken over 10 hours to create the float. The trailer was donated by Roy’s Auto Centre, and the truck was donated by Money Workz. Everyone helps out a lot.”
The Soccer Club also held a BBQ at the Open Market on Saturday to raise money for their upcoming Gala Day at Hyland Park on August 17th beginning at 8 a.m. That day will mark the Club’s year end Tournament and Team appreciation Day. All kids can come, it’s free to attend, you just have to pay for food.”
Gardner is presently volunteering and coaching three teams at present and with the parade fast approaching, found he needed help from some of his young players and volunteers.
