My husband Daryl's mom, who was from Meteghan, used to say "The sun always shines somewhere in Nova Scotia on Saturday's". Despite a forecast of rain, the sun came out and gave us a perfect Nova Scotia day for the annual parades in Hubbards and Western Shore.
And, as usual, the crowds came out to support all of us taking part. These parades are a wonderful example of the spirit of our rural communities and show why we must make sure they survive.
The parades are a great opportunity for me to meet residents and say hello again to people I've met before. Congratulations to the organizers and communities of Hubbards and Western Shore for terrific parades and great community spirit.
