Now that summer is here, there are many events that are
family-oriented over the summer. I know that many people are considering
staycations where they can get away without having to leave Southern Alberta. I
invite you to consider supporting our local economy with your tourism dollars!
There have been a number of exciting events already,
including dozens of Canada Day celebrations across Bow River. There are
numerous events that are occurring in the next few months as well, which will
make summer in Bow River very exciting, with many activities for people of all
ages.
I hope that many will plan on attending the Rockyford Rodeo,
which occurs the weekend of July 22nd-24th.
There is the Strathmore Heritage Days and Stampede, the
weekend of July 29th. I look forward to seeing you at the Strathmore
parade on the 30th at 9AM.
August 6-7 is the Brooks Medieval Faire featuring the largest
Invitational International Jousting Tournament in North America plus lots of family
fun and entertainment on those 2 days.
From August 12-14th, mark down the 85th
anniversary of Milo in your calendars. Milo is a small community with a big
heart.
On August 21st, plan to attend the Earl Taylor Day
celebrations in the EID Historical Park in Scandia. It’s always a good time,
with lots of fun for families. It is a great way to teach our younger Albertans
about the history of our area.
There’s the Taber Cornfest August 26th-27th,
which is always a major event that draws people from all across Western Canada.
Taber corn is renowned for being the best corn around!
Also plan on attending the Gleichen Fall Fair on August 27th.
Let’s make summer 2016 memorable while at the same time
supporting our local communities and events.
