    Broadway will come alive tonight as Corner Brook’s annual Jigs and Wheels Festival kicks into high gear. Mayor Jim Parsons joined Bayfm’s Lenny Benoit and says it’s an exciting time of summer and you can  have a cold beverage on the street, watch some fantastic bands and see people you haven’t seen in years. Parsons says most city streets are open to atv riders except the 4 lane section of O’Connell Drive  and provincial roads. Jigs and Wheels starts this evening at 6 p.m. with “Blame it on Broadway.”
