The Rossland Golden
City Days celebration has
come and gone and for the
first time in a few years the
sun managed to shine on
most of the activity, the
parade was a sun-drenched
wonder and the route from
the hospital hill to Spokane
Street was packed with
onlookers admiring the
various floats entered.
This year saw quite a
large number of marching
bands both local and from
out of town. This is a very
pleasant switch from past
years and GCD coordinator Don Holmes and
his committee are to be
heartily congratulated on
the whole show.
I ran into Barb Armour
of the Warriors Boosters

and she said the Warriors
have been working out in
Trail since Sept. 1 and will
play their first exhibition
game in Beaver Valley
Arena Sept. 18 followed by
a return game with the Nite
Hawks Sept. 21 at home.
Season tickets will go on
sale at that time. The Trail
Juniors will be at the arena
to play the Warriors Sept.

28.
Registration for Minor
Hockey will take place at
the arena lounge Sept. 21-22
with times to be announced
in all the local schools.
There will probably be the
usual swap-sessions in
connection at the same
time, but these have not
been set up yet.

Tuesday was a very
gloomy day and the usual
retirees gathering at the
upper course never got off
the ground. Harvey
McKay, Jim Scott, Ernie
Primeau and I were down
there at the usual time but
it rained hard for awhile
and so we decided against
setting anything up. As the
day progressed it was easy
to see we did the right
thing. Maybe next week we
shall be back at it.
Thursday was invitational day at Christina
and I imagine that Guy
Morey will have a full
report next week.
During the past weekend
there were many things
going on in Rossland
during the celebration.
