    Thanksgiving always brings the smells of freshly cooked turkey dinner but in this city, we also celebrate the vibrant sights of the annual, “ Colours of Corner Brook”  celebration which is taking place today. West Street is closed to traffic to allow a street festival for some 50 vendors to market their goods. All while the Queen Mary 2 is due to spend the day in port. Glenda Simms is the Supervisor of Tourism with the city and tells Bayfm’s Lenny Benoit some of the highlights, at 10:30am: Robyn Terry- 12:00pm: Daniel Payne - 1:00pm: Jay and the Ole Man, Buskers and Baked Goods will be on site for Corner Brook Regional High Band Fundraiser.

    The day will include a Drumming Welcome from the Corner Brook Aboriginal Women’s Association with and a visit from the mummers. Simms says Robbins family Farm will be there with a Petting Zoo, there will be photo booths and face painting, with a Kids Zone hosted by Holidays for Hope. She says there will also be screech ins and moose stew at the Legion for the cruise ship passengers. The Mill Whistler will be running today.
