The sun poured down on Duncan Saturday morning, July 18, but then it usually does for the Cowichan Summer Festival’s Grande Parade.
Â
And, as parades go, this one was really grand, taking a full hour to pass by any one location and including a huge variety of entries from the Valley’s wonderful pipe and drum band and Legion colour party near the beginning to a huge contingent of cadets bringing up the rear of the event.
There were dancers from several local schools, business entries, services clubs, floats: in other words, all the fun of a parade for the whole family.
