100 Years of Yesterday
is also published in the Three Hills Capital
Last week’s random thought --was vividly remembered by Millie Penner. She told me that it was paved in September of 1961 and she remembers this because they were paving it on her wedding day.
Our committee has been very productive this past couple of weeks.
1st--The parade route has been changed and extended from a 1 ½ km to 2 ½ km. So if you are walking the route, wear comfortable shoes and bring a water bottle. It is a good thing that the route has been extended because it is going to be a long, long parade. Already we have two pipe & drum bands, 30 horses, 100 Elks, a float from the City of Red Deer confirmed, plus a number of out of town business inquiring about entering our parade. If you are planning on putting a float in the parade, you can contact Marnie Graham and give her a heads’ up.
2nd--Stampede Stage--This is a self-contained movable stage that will be stationed at various locations around town throughout the weekend. Friday nite will see it parked out at the ball diamonds. Here, The Gordie West Band and the Stewart Family will put on a pre-fireworks show, starting at 9pm. Then the stage & the same awesome entertainers will move to the Centennial Pancake Breakfast location (in front of IGA). After the parade the stage will move on to Main Street and the entertainment will continue until around 5pm.
3rd--Our committee really needs some volunteers. Most shifts are only for 2 or 3 hours. Some of the areas that are in desperate need are--manning the souvenir table in the Arena,
parade co-ordinators, manning the history book table, helping in the Historic Art’s ‘n Crafts display area, greeting visitors, etc. If you are willing to help you can pick up a volunteer form at the Three Hills General Store, or Alsite Travel. You can also email this information Alex at asmith@threehills.ca Please include your name & phone number.
4th--Celebrate this Centennial in Style--Souvenirs are in and are now for Sale. Stop by the Three Hills General Store to pick yours up today. Quantities are limited. Ball Caps are available through Woody’s Upholstery.
Okay, I’m stopping to breathe now. As you can see this is going to be the Ultimate Birthday Party. There are a zillion more events planned for the weekend and I will be updating you a on few of them every week. You do not want to miss our Centennial Celebration.
And don't forget to listen to Q91 radio-- our Centennial Minute that airs every Friday around 8:10am.
One of the features on our webpage is our “calendar”. Here you can find details on many of the 100 Centennial Events that are happening throughout the year. Sat. June 16 is the Centennial Street Garage sale as well as the Museum Open House. Then on June 18 the Habitat House--100 Hour--Build begins.
Random thought for the week. Do you remember the outdoor swimming pool?
