Thursday, June 7, 2001 • page 3 12th annual Friendship Day a family affair This year’s theme ‘Be a kid fora day, volunteer forever’ reflects day’s activities Staff Lennoxville Jam-packed with a full slate of activities for everyone aged one to 100, the 12th annual Lennoxville Friendship Day could be the best ever when it kicks off on Saturday morning.Organizers have put together a wide assortment of events and features, beginning with a breakfast and parade to kick off the day, and ends with a fireworks display at 10 p.m.“People are really talking about it, and looking forward to Saturday,” says Chantal Carrier, Director of Cultural, Community and Recreational Activities for the Town of Lennoxville.“We’ve really wanted activities for the whole family so people can take part in as many things as they can.We really wanted to emphasize that.” Falling on National Kids Day and during the International Year of the Volunteer, this year’s Friendship Day features the theme ‘Be a kid for a day, volunteer forever,’ which highlights the fact that activities are for all ages, and that Lennoxville has a strong tradition of volunteerism.“Our organizing committee is made up of all volunteers, and there are extra volunteers for the different events as well,” says Carrier.Highlighting the day’s activities is the annual parade, which passes through the residential district of Lennoxville.At press time, some 45 entries were registered for the jaunt through town, but Kelley Patrick-Kobelt, who is the organizer of the parade, expected more as Saturday approached.“Between (Tuesday) and Saturday we tend to get a lot of phone calls for more floats,” she says.“It’s a really fun event and there is no competition with the floats.After all, it’s Friendship Day!” Beginning at 10:30 a.m., the parade starts on the corner of Queen and Charlotte Street, turns up Church, then to Hunting, takes a left onto Speid, a right on Meade and then to Warren, Bown and Amesbury Streets before concluding back on Charlotte.“It is an opportunity for organizations to show local talent,” said Carrier of the parade.This year, antique cars, clowns, highland pipe bands, horses and a covered bridge will be just some of the entries in the parade.“We try and keep the parade about an hour long so people can get down to Centennial Park and get started with the rest of the festivities,” Patrick Kobelt said.By mid-morning, a number of other events will also kick off.An artisans and organizations fair gets going at 10 a.m., as does entertainment at the tent being set up in Centennial Park.Folk art artist Janna will offer her expertise on her unique paintings and productions as well.The artisans and organizations fair will allow -enthusiasts to discover more about services provided by local organizations, while at the same time discover the many treasures by Eastern Townships artists.The event takes place inside and outside St.Antoine School.Entertainment, meanwhile, will involve singing, music and dancing for everyone’s enjoyment.In the afternoon, many more activities begin.A jaws of life demonstration will start at noon at the corner of Speid and Hunting, an open swim will be available between 1 p.m.and 4:30 p.m.at Centennial Pool and a kite flying session starts at 1 p.m.at Lennoxville Elementary School.Other features include a book sale (1 p.m.-4:30 p.m., St.Antoine School), a magic show (2 p.m.to 2:30 p.m., LES), puppet workshop (2-3 p.m., Uplands), hip hop dance (2-3 p.m., Amédée-Beaudoin Community Hall), an art and origami exhibit, an ice cream social, a barbecue supper (5 p.m., fire hall) and a youth dance (6-9 p.m., Centennial Park Tent).The children’s activities portion of the day includes a 68-foot long multi-game structure, which has sections for bouncing, slides, a ball room and a variety of other features.A new addition to the Friendship Day menu is the installation of a mural in Centennial Park.People can sign, draw, paint or leave their mark on the mural from 10 a.m.to 4:30 p.m.“We invite people to sign it with some sort of personal touch and be a part of Lennoxville history,” says Carrier.A special presentation of Hansel and Gretel, presented by the Town and Bishop’s University, will be on stage at 1 p.m.and 7 p.m., while the fireworks blast off from Coulter Field, on the Bishop’s campus to end the day.“The fireworks, for sure, are the highlight,” Carrier says.“It’s just fantastic.The facilities are good and people always enjoy them."
