Fête St. Lazare fun

Ryan, Cassidy and Victoria McFarlane enjoy their
sticky-sweet cotton candy at Sunday's annual St. Lazare Carnival
in spite of the muggy weekend weather. St. Lazare and surrounding
towns celebrated Canada Day yesterday with fireworks and free
shows.

Lazare's annual Carnival. The weeklong Fêtes de Saint-Lazare
commenced on St. Jean Baptiste with music and fireworks and ended
yesterday with Canada Day festivities. Clowns, car shows and
parties were held across the town, with some events rained out
this weekend including the annual soap box race.
Vaudreuil-Dorion will be throwing a major Circus Festival
from today to July 5. Visit the town website for full details
of the festival. Vaudreuil-Dorion will also be screening Luc
Picard's extraordinary film, Babine, on July 9 at 9 p.m. in Valois
Park. Writer and narrator Fred Pellerin weaves a whimsical tale.
Also at Valois Park beginning June 27, canoe, kayak and pedal
boat rentals are available at $8 every half hour for residents
and $12 for non-residents.
