How many people would you need to throw a party for about 35,000 people?

If youѻýre a Westside Daze organizer the number is 100.

Thatѻýs how many people need to pitch in a herculean effort each year to make sure there are smiles on kids faces throughout the three day family festival, said Leah Thordarson president and administrator of Westside Daze.

These volunteers help with the parade or kids fair or they ride the golf cars during the parade.

ѻýWe have an amazing group who assist us,ѻý said Thordarson. ѻýThere are very few completely free family events, and if it wasnѻýt for the volunteers and the businesses who have donated $250 to $10,000 each, it wouldnѻýt be free and it wouldnѻýt be an event that runs so smoothly.ѻý

Itѻýs less than a month until the event gets underway and theyѻýre still looking for volunteers for traffic corners during the parade.

Itѻýs one of the biggest events in West Kelowna and Thordarson said there are over 100 floats entered.

ѻýItѻýs a big parade and we need a few more volunteers,ѻý she said.
