The City of St. Thomas played host to its own Jurassic Park for Game 4 of the NBA Finals.
Droves of fans gathered at Moore and Talbot streets on Friday night to watch the Toronto Raptors top the Golden State Warriors 105-92 to take a 3-1 lead in the NBA Finals.
Dozens of other cities in Canada have hosted similar viewing parties and Friday marked St. Thomas’ entry into the Jurassic Park club.

“Hundreds of people, including a lot of young people, out on the street in St. Thomas today,” Preston said.
“Volunteer help made this happen in five days this week… it’s just an incredible event.”
The event was completely free of charge and provided viewing of Game 4 on a large projector.
Preston added that they were helped by the fortune of clear skies and warm temperatures.
