Harvest Festival Brightens Rossburn After 1985 Deluge
The 1986 Parkland Harvest Festival opened with a quiet moment for Pat Johnston, then parade entries, rodeo queen crowning, and Main Street events. Winners included 10,400 raffle tickets by Eleanor Dnistiansky, and a $2,000 outdoor bingo prize pool led by Anne Lapinsky. Saturday featured Parkway Co op breakfast, gymkhana, rodeo, and numerous races with multiple sponsors and a record track time. Crowds reached about 2,500 for the weekend, as sunshine returned and organizers planned an even bigger show next year.
