The weekend of July 9, 10, 11 and 12 was a time of celebration in Harbour
Breton as the annual Tradition by the Sea festivities were underway. The weekend began
with opening ceremonies by local dignitaries followed by a beach party at Deadman's Cove. Saturday
saw the arrival of the Bluenose II, dory races in the harbour, children's activities at
the Sunny Cottage grounds, a senior's party at the Harbour Breton Lions Club and the
annual Resettlement Dance at the arena.
On Sunday, the community gathered at the arena to watch as the local police and friends
had their heads shaven as a fundraiser for cancer research. This was followed by an
afternoon of games of chance and entertainment by "Celtic Connection".
