Amid the campaigning, several candidates made appearances in, or at the Chisholm Trail Roundup Grand Parade on Saturday, taking the opportunity to r

each a mass audience with a relative amount of ease.
Most candidates have also submitted their final campaign finance reports, which were due to election coordinators on Friday, June 10.
