Great Time at Brigade Days

The Langley Rivermen were in full force at Brigade Days in Fort Langley on Monday. 

Brigade Days is a 3 day event in which the Fort Langley Historic Society puts together fun, games, and a reinactment of the fur traders who came to the Fort to trade their goods.

The fur traders were all volunteers acting out this event.  They paddled canoes down the mighty Fraser to a gun salute and a sea of over 600 people cheering them on.

Some old and a whole lot of new players were on the beach as well to welcome the volunteer fur traders.  The guys spent most of the afternoon introducing themselves to the people and handing out Rivermen tattoos to the kids in attendance.  The event was a huge success. 

The Rivermen have a handful of events left before the season starts so stay tuned and hope to see you all out there.
