Automobile and motorcycle enthusiasts will have plenty to enjoy during Goose Festival weekend in Kindersley, with several events scheduled to highlight vehicles of all kinds.

Festivities begin on Thursday, September 18, with K-Town Cruise Night. The evening opens with a community barbecue from 5 to 7 p.m., where hamburgers and hot dogs will be available for purchase. Proceeds will primarily support the Kindersley Playschool, with the remainder directed toward future cruise events. Following the barbecue, a cruise through town will take place from 7:30 p.m. until dark. All vehicles are welcome to participate.

The event is sponsored by Jerry and Melody King, along with the Kindersley & District Co-op. Vehicles will be displayed between the Co-op Marketplace Foods and the Co-op Pharmacy, extending down the block to Lifetime Dental.
