Kids Activities - The kids activities will be moved indoors to the Pitt Meadows Arena.
Drone Show - We are keeping an eye on the forecast, right now the weather network is showing overcast conditions and no rain in the evening – so the drone show is happening. If the weather does turn out to be less than ideal (high winds or heavy rain), we will have to make a rain delay or cancel. An announcement will be provided at the event in that situation. We are hoping for clear skies and smooth flying!
