You might even be able to catch a few of the monster trucks around town, particularly if you’re driving through Courtenay on Ryan Road Friday.
Meanwhile, football fans are welcome to check out some local action with the Comox Valley Raiders program Sunday at Bill Moore Park with U12 – U19 divisions taking to the field throughout the day.

They’ll face off in Campbell River tonight at 7:30 pm and again in Courtenay Saturday at 6:30 pm.
The Comox Valley Raiders youth football program kicks off Sunday in Courtenay.
