LETHBRIDGE – The Whoop-Up Days parade is a summer time tradition in Lethbridge and the 2014 edition did not disappoint.
Floats filled with colourful characters wound their way through downtown Lethbridge on Tuesday, starting at Park Place Mall and ending on 9th Avenue North.
Police Chief Tom McKenzie acted as this year’s honorary parade marshal. He’s a 37-year veteran of the force, but is retiring this October.
