Since 1985, Buster Days has been a part of Martensville, initially starting out as a small town get together with a ball tournament and since growing into the huge event we all look forward to every year to help kick-off the summer celebrations.
Buster Days will be starting off with a splash on Friday, June 9th with Family Swim at 5pm and running until 7:00pm, followed by youth swim night from 7:30pm-9:30pm. Once again, the ball diamonds will be a hub of activity with the annual tournament beginning at 6pm that night, along with the beer gardens. New this year, is Club 55 which starts at 6pm on Friday with Sign Making and Wood Carving, both of which require pre-registration to participate in that can be done at www.martensville.ca. The ever-popular fireworks display will end the night at Kinsmen Park, starting at 10:15pm.
The fun continues on Saturday morning with a Pancake Breakfast at the Curling Rink, with the fluffy hotcakes served up by the Martensville Fire Department and admission by donation. There will also be a Rocky Ridge Model Railroad Display set up at the curling rink from 8am-4pm.
There will also be Fitness in the Park along with a Free Healthy Breakfast which starts at 9:30am at Kinsmen Park. To participate you must bring your own yoga mat.
The streets will be lined with excited spectators with the parade beginning at 11am, taking place on the south side of Martensville this year along 8th Avenue South, 4th Street South, 1st Avenue South and Main Street.
The afternoon will be filled with entertainment with road hockey, strong man competition, inflatables, laser tag, airbrush tattoos, skateboarding and lots of food trucks that will be set up at the MAP parking lot. Some of the food trucks available will be Smokes Poutine, Smokehaus Deli and Meats, Hawaiian Shaved Ice, Alpha Dog Waffles, Hectors Grub Hub, and Chow Queen to name a few.
The fun continues Sunday with ball, soccer jamboree, bingo, petting zoo, money pit and so much more.
