Rodeo, Fireworks and Queens
A big crowd again attended the Nelson A. and P. Association's rodeo and fireworks carnival at the showgrounds. One of the feature events of the evening show was a parade of entrants in the Royal Agricultural Society' s Pastoral Queen Quest. Above are the local entrants. Back: Carol Waddington, Susan Hepburn, Susan Dick, Pam Scoltock, June Pogmore, Janet Riggir, Maureen McCarthy. Front: Yvonne Olds, Jacqueline Soutter, Marilyn Davies and Dale Pettifer.
Fireworks do funny things in the air, and can be made to do even funnier things if you wiggle the camera a bit.
