This past weekend Three Hills was swamped with people and cars. And from what I have heard, this was the BEST Cruise “Weekend” ever.
Yah, I missed it.
I was in Toronto with the Three Hills School Band (as a chaperon) on an exchange trip.
This was an awesome opportunity for our students and it reminded me of Ken Leaf.
Back in the early 1970’s Ken brought the “band” program to the Three Hills School.
I remember going on a band trip with Mr. Leaf’--loading the school bus with students & instruments, staying in a hostel in Banff, playing in a number of schools along the way and then, performing in a park in Banff. It too, was an awesome experience. And if I recall correctly, that was almost 40 years ago.
If you would like to hear those students I was chaperoning you have one more chance--this Wednesday nite, at 7pm is the Three Hills School Band’s Final Concert.
Who else is turning 100 this year? St. Barnabas Anglican Church. You can join them this Sunday (June 10th) as they celebrate their 100th Anniversary.
And remember, this week is “Senior’s Week”, so take the time to visit with a senior, buy them a coffee or mow their lawn. After all, if it wasn’t for our Seniors, our town wouldn’t be celebrating 100 years.
I can hardly wait for July 20, 21 & 22nd. Reminiscing with friends and family about the past and the present, catching up on old times and making new memories. I hope you have registered, but if you haven’t, there’s still time. Although time is running out.
This is crunch time for the Centennial Committee as pesky little details are ironed out. And because there are always those last minute items, the committee will be meeting every two weeks as we work feverishly to make our July Celebration a huge success.
Random thought for this week. Who remembers when they paved Main Street?
