Its population may be small, but Cremona has been celebrating Canada Day in a big way for a long time.

After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, things will return to the way of old this July 1, 2022.

There is no shortage of activities for people of all ages on Friday as Jennie Thompson with Cremona FCSS says, "We do a pretty good job for a little town."

Things kick off at 8 a.m. with a pancake breakfast at the Community Hall as the first pitches at the ball diamonds get underway too. 

The Chamber of Commerce's parade gets underway at 10:15 a.m. and there's still time to enter by contacting clarke.e.erwin@gmail.com. 

Following the parade, community organizations pull out all the stops providing fun for everyone throughout the day and evening.

The Museum at the Gold and Silver will be open as well as cribbage play at 1 p.m. 

The Fellowship Church will be holding a BBQ and bake sale.

FCSS is holding face painting and glitter tattoos, an inflatable and craft table. 

The Lions have a concession, Family Races, and Money Pit.

The Cremona Library will have a Story Walk, crafts, a book sale, and a prize wheel.

Closing out the day, the Community Hall is presenting an Unlawful Assembly Concert at 9 p.m. with the fireworks at dark at the ball diamond.
