Knights of Pythias Christmas Parade
Once again we hosted our annual Christmas Parade. The Knights have been in the parade business for over twenty-five years. This year’s parade was one hour in length from start to finish. Along with the parade the Knights hosted their annual parade party for the mentally challenged from the Southwestern Regional Centre. The residents and their helpers and staff were treated to hot dogs, sandwiches and alpha getties along with a visit from Santa and a small gift. If you ever want to find the true spirit of Christmas visit the Orkeby Hall on parade day.

The members of Rokeby Lodge # 9 held a Car Wash on Saturday September 11, 2004. The weather was fantastic and we able to raise $170.00 which will offset the costs of hosting the Santa Claus parade in November. Take a look at the fun we had!
In August the Knights were manning a booth in the towns biggest summer
event W.A.M.B.O. This stands for Wallaceburg Antique Car and Motor Boat Outing. This event is the largest in the area bringing in over 12,000 people for the weekend. The Knights set up a booth with our banner and sold hot dogs, hamburgers and pop for the day. The sisters worked the kitchen at the hall and the Knights manned the booth on the street.
