Heritage Day fair draws a crowd despite snowstorm
Before the onslaught of video games, young people found other ways to amuse themselves. Here, Terrace Regional Historical Society president Leah Harris, demonstrates a spinner. It was just one of many items from bygone years on display at the Heritage Day event held Feb. 25 at the Sportsplex banquet room.
It may have been one of the snowiest days of the winter, but that did not detract participants and locals from attending the first Heritage Day event since the pandemic. There was such an interest by people wanting to participate that the demand for display table space could not be met, she said. Displays ranged from toys from decades ago to the history of education to gold mining.
“We did not get an exact count of how many people showed up but the turnout was very good given the snow that day,” Temple said.
