Plenty to see and do at annual Cheltenham Day festivities
July 15, 2016 · 0 Comments
There are some added duties that come with holding elected office, like doing a shift in the dunk tank at community events. Councillor Johanna Downey did just that Saturday at the Cheltenham Day festivities. The weather was a little threatening, but that didn’t dampen the mood much.
Cheltenham was in a festive mood Saturday for the annual Cheltenham Day festivities. The day included plenty of fun and interesting activities. There was no shortage of people, young and old, willing to take part in the pie-eating contest. Needless to say, table manners are not required for this event.

Bubba the Clown was on hand, entertaining the young folks by making balloon toys.
Terrence Langlois officially started the Duck Race.
The Soapbox Derby is always a popular attraction at Cheltenham Day. Brooklynn Corbett, 8, and Jake Livingston, 7, were competing in this heat.
Mayor Allan Thompson made quite a splash at the dunk tank. He was among several local celebrities who got the chance to take a quick dip.
There was plenty of food available, as the Cheltenham Firefighters were busy barbecuing. Here, retired firefighter George Newhouse is seen hard at work at the grill.
A great way to cool off at Cheltenham Day is to sign up for the Tube Race in the Credit River. that’s what these competitors did Saturday
