It was a successful schedule of events for the annual Victoria Day celebrations in Cumberland.
The committee thanks the volunteers who put in endless hours - from the cinch tournament on May 14 to the Fashion Show, Market Day, and the park activities culminating with the parade and crowning of the May Queen on May 23.
