A Pas newspaper piece reflects on The Pas's 50 year history since 1912. It notes community spirit, local challenges, and progress including schools, infrastructure, tourism, and growth while avoiding a full celebratory issue. Former residents and visitors are welcomed.
Festivities begin Friday with a parade from the Exhibition Grounds to the Community Building and Indian Village. Mayor Trager will declare the jubilee, followed by fish fries, beef barbecues, and a pancake breakfast. The corner of Fischer and Third hosts square dancing, a jamboree, and street dances Friday and Saturday nights. Saturday features a visit by Manitoba leaders, a war memorial unveiling, a swimming meet, Little League games, and a family day with church services and a golf tournament.
Three day gathering at exhibition grounds features Ladies and Men softball tournaments, a 6 p.m soccer match at Devon Park, and bus tours of farming areas leaving Legion Hall at 1:30 and 2 p.m. daily. The Game and Fish sponsor live fish catching at Indian Village site and a trap shoot at Black and White Dairy. The Past history tableaux open all days, visitor ribbons available, including 1912 special gold ribbons for former residents.
A dense listing of afternoon and evening programs across Friday to Sunday, naming cartoons, dramas, game shows, and films. Entries include The Tea Zone, Vacation Time, Dick Tracy, Perry Mason, Guns and Allen, and World of Sport with multiple time slots and sign-offs.
