100 Years of Yesterday
by Chairperson Terry Diack
The year the Buffalo came to town was 1973. I’ve talked to quite a few people about this event. How the buffalo ran rampage in the arena, kicking and charging at everything. How the men responsible for picking up the buffalo thought that they should get the biggest, meanest one--this was probably not the smartest thing those men ever did and my dad was one of those men that went to pick up the buffalo. Oh well, that’s in the past.
Let me tempt you with some tidbits from the future.
The Centennial Celebration in July will include
Friday... Model Railway Village of Three Hills 1912** Prairie Heritage Museum Open House**
Three Hills Municipal Library Open House** Bruce Innes and the Original Caste singers**
Art & Craft Display**Free Teen Swim** Entertainment on the Stampede Stage** Fireworks
Saturday... Community Street Breakfast**Centennial Parade** Art & Craft Display** Kids Carnival** Battle of the Axes** Tractor Pull**History Book Launch** Beef Supper**Exhibition Ball Game** Official Dedication of Habitat for Humanity House**Ben Crane** The Emeralds** Trooper** Free Teen Swim
Sunday...Art & Craft Display** Community Breakfast ** Inter-denominational Church Service** Meet and Greet** Tractor Pull**Class Reunion(s)** Model Railway Village of Three Hills 1912 **Guided Town Tour in Antique Cars
These are just the highlight of the weekend, the full schedule of events will be published in the Capital in the near future and is now available at http://threehillscentennialcelebration2012.blogspot.ca/
This will be an awesome weekend, whether you are 5,15, 25, 55 or 75. There will be something going on to interest you.
Our committee is taking the bull by the horns and camping out at the General Store every Friday during the Habitat for Humanity BBQ. Why are we camping out? Well, besides the fact that it’s a cheap lunch and a good cause, we are trying lasso you as you go by and get you to fill out a registration form. We really need to have an idea of how many people will be attending the July Celebration.
This Sunday is Mother’s Day. And we all know how special our Mothers are. (hint, hint...do you think my kids will read this?) So on Saturday you have two chances to WOW your mom. Take her for breakfast at the community center (compliments of the Three Hills Elks) and then take her to the United Church Centennial Strawberry Tea. More details about both events can be found elsewhere in the Capital.
On closing, I have another random thought from the past... Anyone remember the Texaco Station?
