Nickel Days has the TRCC parking lot transformed into a fair.

Today is the first day of the 4-day long celebration.

Organizer Melissa Meston tells us about just some this year’s events: "There will be many rides on the fairgrounds for all ages this year. We have a very yummy free pancake breakfast on Saturday June 20^th from 8am-10am, and it will be held in the CA Nesbitt Arena. At 9am the King Miner contest begins, the King Miner Awards start at 1pm on Sunday, June 21^st".

Tom Cochrane with Red Rider will also be in town, headlining the Nickel Days social. A full list of events can be found on the Nickel Days facebook page. This will be Thompson’s 53^rd Nickel Days.
