Day one of Frontier Days on Wednesday included a classic event.
The annual Kiddies Day Parade sauntered its way through downtown Swift Current.
The annual event is a showcase of some of the sponsors that help bring Frontier Days to life, such as the Swift Current chapter of the Shrine Club. Former president Ron Heeg says there’s always a nice crowd every year, and kids always enjoy dressing up in costume.
The City of Swift Current has been a key partner and supporter of the Ag & Ex since 2011. Many members of the Parks Play program participated in the parade, including Families in the Park Coordinator Kylie Payne.
“It’s always a great way for the kids and families to meet the (program) leaders,” she said
Other event sponsors include the Swift Current Fire Department, Pioneer Co-op, and Innovation Federal Credit Union.
Members of the Shrine Club were also on hand to serve free hot dogs and drinks at the conclusion of the parade.
