Fredericton NB – Holiday Events
Monday, August 4, 2008 17:08 | 463 viewsI 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.
You can view all the other pictures from my Flickr Account in my New Brunswick Day – 2008 set.
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.

Nothin’ like rain for a holiday celebration. It was cloudy and cold every 4th of July we were in England. Kind of ironic.

@DragonLady – Yup, musta sucked for the folks in Moncton. The Eagles were playing, and it was an outdoor concert.
It’s raining all the time in the UK anyway. LOL

True dat. Rain doesn’t bother me at all now after 5 years of getting soaked in it.
