Memorial Park will be the place to be this weekend.
That's when the historic Ladner Pioneer May Days returns for another round of fun and entertainment.
It will be the last year as chair for Jackey Zellweger.
"It's a great community event," she says, noting she'll stay on the committee as past chair.
Zellweger has been with May Days for about a decade and around half of that time as chairperson.
"It was great," she says.
Jennifer Middleton will be stepping into the role next year and has been on the committee for a long time and is very good at it, Zellweger notes.
Ladner May Days, established in 1896, is billed as one of British Columbia's largest free family fairs.
A men's fastball tournament and "Loonie Toonie" kids' rides get things started on Friday while the fair kicks into high gear on the Saturday and Sunday with entertainment, activities, food, a craft fair and more.
The parade, one of the staples of the fair, is set for Sunday at noon. It goes through historic Ladner Village and ends up at Memorial Park.
Another slice of tradition, the May Pole Dance, along with the crowning of the May Queen, take place Sunday afternoon in the park.
Fun can be had at a petting zoo, paddle boating, gold panning with Yukon Dan and more rides and games on both Saturday and Sunday. There will be musical stage entertainment both days as well.
