Saturday saw over a hundred people stop by the Horsefly Salmon festival, that may not have been as many fish, but the day was still a success.
“There were some fish that showed up, and that is always a good thing,” said Tracy Bond, a coordinator for the festival.
Along with watching the salmon that did show up off the bridge, there were also tons of other activities set up along the river.
There was a demonstration and interest provoking information from Fishiers and Ocean’s Judy Hillby, information from Barry Booth from Land Conservation, and different art projects for kids.
Bruce MacLeod was making salmon prints by rolling paint right onto a salmon and pressing paper down onto it.
Brandi Ranger coordinated the art projects, and Jacob Jackson was her helper. His friends and him made a salmon piñata for all the kids.
Sue Hemphill from Scout Island nature centre was there with samples of marsh and river water for people to look at and see all the different bugs that live in the different water.
There were many other activities planned for the day and Sunday that keep people entertained and learning about salmon.
