Music, dancers, floats and more cruised through the streets of downtown Salmon Arm while spectators cheered them on and, if they were lucky, got some candy out of the deal.

The fair grounds were packed with people Saturday as well, flocking out to the various entertainment offerings including musicians, magicians, fun family events and various contests happenign around the grounds during the day.

The fair keeps running strong Sunday, don’t miss out on the fun!
