EDMONTON With K-Days falling victim to cancellation again this year, summer midway fun returns in a new form for the first time since 2019. The Summer Fun Midway opened Friday and saw sizeable crowds Saturday. The event runs from July 23 through Aug. 1 at the Expo Centre grounds and features rides, food, midway games, and outdoor entertainment shows. “It’s pretty refreshing,” said Darren Hansen. “I’m not a big ride guy myself, but my children were all excited to be coming out and going on the rides today.” For many who attended the event on Saturday, it was the first time they experienced being in a crowd in over 16 months.
An East Royalty resident says he hopes Charlottetown city council will consider more than just Angus Drive residents when making a decision about the East Royalty highway project.
