The clouds parted for Valemountain Days last weekend, ending a rainy cold spell just in time for the weekend’s festivities. The weekend included a Friday night street party, Saturday morning parade, weekend-long softball tournament, arcade games and bouncy castles for the kids, Chris the Clown, an art and photo contest, live music, bingo, logger sports and much more. Several parade floats will be seen again next weekend at a much faster speed during the grand re-opening of the Valemount Speedway.
