The Prince Albert Exhibition exploded onto the streets of P.A. with the playful pageantry of the annual parade; the customary kick-off event for a week of fun.

Monday evening the parade route, which ran from 14^th Street before ending at the Exhibition Grounds, was packed with people looking to see the floats and many kids looking for candy or anything else that might come their way.

This year over 40 floats took part from a number of organizations ranging from minor sports organizations to the armed forces.
