MacBros’ Place |

I went to the events taking place outside the old Government House as soon as I had the chance when the rains broke for a short period of time. Although it was New Brunswick Day today, it was also CFB Gagetown’s 50th Anniversary and they were showing off a bunch of their toys and stuff in town today.

The video below shows you just how bad it was raining this morning as I watched and waited for it to slow down or stop. Then when it did I headed out and took a few pictures and video.

Not as much video as I would have liked to take, but there wasn’t a whole lot happening. I videoed this remote control robot thing but as soon as I started to video it, the operator stopped moving it around and just moved the cameras around. Boooriiiing!

Then I took some video of one of the vehicles driving by as I was walking back home.

I also took a few pictures of the different displays they had there also.

I didn’t stay long because it started to rain a little more heavier again, and I didn’t want to be stuck in a downpour. It wasn’t all that interesting anyway. At least for me it wasn’t as I’ve seen this stuff so many times coming from a Military Family, but the kids seemed to enjoy themselves rain or not.

The only active place was the line up of folks wanting to go on a tank ride. The one you saw in the ending of the above video.

I wish the weather was a lot better or I would have gotten more pictures and video. My feet were getting soaked and I didn’t want the rain getting inside my camera either. There probably would have been a lot more going on if it weren’t for all the rain. A lot of the scheduled events have been canceled due to the rain.. To bad really.

What miserable weather. If it were a lot nicer the scheduled events would have been fun.
