    Klondike Days is now called Capital EX.

    All these people who no longer live in Edmonton kept telling me about their fond childhood memories of Klondike Days, and I had no idea what they were talking about.

    I did go to the parade last year. Charming, as parades go. But the crowd seemed sparse. Maybe other events were better attended?

    Boo! I have VERY fond memories of attending Klondike Days, including:

    1. Deciding that I was a big girl and could get on the train by myself. I ended up on the outside with my mom, brother and Great Uncle on the INSIDE as the train started pulling away!
    2. My brother wolf-whistling at a woman in period attire at the parade, and the woman, thinking it was my Great Uncle, turning and slapping him
    3. Watching the parade and the Snowbirds doing a fly over".
    4. Going to the EX, and after th train incident, not letting go of my Great Uncle the entire time, forcing him into the house of mirrors with me.
    5. Going to the race track, picking some horses because I liked their names, and having my Great Uncle win!
    6. Seeing all of the people in the period dress.


    I was a bit younger when we went to the Stampede, so don't remember quite as much of that.
