Wagon Rides & Bicycle Tour For the past 5 years, since the very first Lacombe Culture & Harvest Festival, the favorite thing for everyone to do has been to go on the Horse Drawn Wagon Rides! It’s a very pleasant and leisurely way to experience Lacombe’s historic downtown. Hop on at the Lacombe Memorial Centre and get a ride you won’t forget! A costumed tour guide will also be on hand to provide historic information about Lacombe and tell some stories along the way. Horse Drawn Wagon rides have become so popular they will run on Saturday Sept 24 and Sunday Sept 25 from 10am to 4pm. Seen enough of downtown?
And want to explore more of Lacombe? Meet at the Lacombe Memorial Centre on Sunday Sept 25 at 3:30pm to go on a guided cycling tour or self-drive tour of Lacombe’s historic homes. For the cycling tour, bring your own bike and helmet and follow our tour guide as you take a leisurely bike ride and see some of the beautiful homes we have here in Lacombe. If you rather drive, pick up a self-guided tour book and visit Lacombe’s residential neighbourhoods on your own. Organized by the Lacombe & District Historical Society, this tour is a great way to learn about the unique architecture and the personal stories
behind some of Lacombe’s historic residences. The Lacombe & District Historical Society also produces a self-guided tour book and brochure of Lacombe’s historic downtown that you can pick up or purchase at the Flatiron Museum on Main Street in Lacombe. The Lacombe & District Historical Society operates the 3 museums in Downtown Lacombe and a community archives. Did you know that you can come to the Museum and do research? Or donate your family history? Learn more about the society and our programs by visiting your local museum during the Lacombe Culture & Harvest Festival.

Our forest of stainless and fleet of oak will continue to grow. With your help we’ve won some awards and received some accolades and are very thankful. Most importantly, we’re brewing more styles of beer and experimenting with countless others. When you walk in we’ll be able to pour you: • Blindman River Session Ale • Longshadows India Pale Ale • Kettle Sour #6 (Amarillo & Vic Secret) • Saison Lacombe: Autombe • Robust Porter • Cascadian Dark Ale • Cask-conditioned ale off our beer engine • Beer pushed with nitrogen off our nitro tap As well as other beer that will include things like: one-off experimentals, collaborations with other breweries, and barrel-aged beers from our barrel fleet. Feel free to walk out with some of our beer either in a refillable growler or cans and bottles. On October 1st—our anniversary—we will be pouring our special anniversary beer. We are very excited to share it with you and hope you’ll join us in the taproom this year, and in years to come.
Thanks again, -The Blindman Crew

Lacombe Performing Arts Centre Foundation
Music Concerts Once again the Lacombe Performing Arts Centre Foundation is pleased to be a part of the 2016 Lacombe Culture and Harvest Festival. For over three years now the foundation has been programming musical entertainment in Lacombe with ongoing events such as Music in the Park, Canada Day, and the Culture and Harvest Festival. Through the development of these events, its goal is to showcase the performing arts and bring top quality entertainment into the community for the enjoyment of local and regional residents as well as visitors to our area. This year the Foundation is excited to be able to present two great performances, one for each weekend of the Culture and Harvest Festival. Week one, Saturday September 24th, our stage at Cranna Lake will feature a popular Central Alberta band, Tap 9. On Week two, Saturday October 1st, a special performance will take place by Alecia Aichelle at the Lacombe Agricultural Grounds.

LACOMBE EXPRESS
Tap 9 will take the stage at Cranna Lake at 7pm. with fireworks to follow at dusk. The Lacombe Community market will also be on site from 4pm until dusk and they will include food trucks so no need to cook dinner, you can make an evening of it.
Tap 9 Based in Lacombe, Tap9 was formed by world class studio and touring musicians to write original music influenced by their backgrounds ranging from blues, to country, to jazz and rock. With influences like Brian Adams, Tom Petty, Van Morrison and Weazer, Tap9 has created a fresh sound with a classic Country Rock finish. With two studio albums, an original Christmas song, a new video of “Sorry for the Party” and regular live shows, Tap9 is always creating new and exciting original music. In 2010 the band came together to explore their own original style writing and performing songs of
emotional and social conscience. The combination of years of playing in studio and live gigs, brings a soul filled sound of truth to their songs. Recording their first album, selftitled Tap9, The band has gone on to record and release an original Christmas song as well as songs that explore a lighter side to life such as ‘Sorry for the Party’, and ‘Cowboy in Paradise’. In 2014 the Band created and released a picture video of ‘For You I Bleed’, a song designed to increase the awareness of the problem of abuse in our society. The song continues to be shared and viewed by thousands. In 2016 the Band released its first
studio recording of ‘Sorry for the Party’. Always creating, Tap 9 looks forward to recording and performing original new music. They have been on our big stage before, performing for Canada Day and at Music in the Park. These performers really know how to get a crowd going; high energy and excitement is a hallmark of their performances. Whether it’s one of their original songs or a cover of a country or country rock classic, one never knows what to expect with these guys. So get ready to tap those toes, do a little finger snappin’ and have a whole lotta fun!

Alecia Aichelle On Weekend #2 of the festival, Saturday October 1st, the Lacombe Performing Arts Centre Foundation is pleased to present Alecia Aichelle as part of Saturday’s entertainment at the Lacombe Agricultural Grounds
Rising Canadian country artist, Alecia Aichelle, captivates her audiences with her angelic vocals, alluring piano accompaniment, and relatable lyrics. Born and raised in Kelowna, BC, Alecia’s love for music and performance began early on as she grew up singing in her church and excelled in Royal Conservatory classical piano. She also enjoyed acting and spent a great deal of time performing in school musicals and community performances. Alecia was introduced to country music at a young age by her parents, who have been devoted supporters of Alecia’s musical goals and dreams. Some of her first musical influences include Martina McBride, Faith Hill, Shania, Dolly, Paul Brandt, and CCR, to name a few. Reflecting on her country

music roots Alecia says, “Country was definitely not considered “cool” where I grew up, but it was my passion, a part of me, and I really didn’t care that the other kids teased me about it. It has always been who I am and I have always stuck to my guns. Alecia now calls Red Deer, Alberta home since moving to attend the Red Deer College Music Program where she achieved a Music Diploma in Voice and Piano Performance. Alecia currently performs throughout Alberta both with her band and as a solo act, as well as spends some time in Nashville song writing, recording, and performing. One of Alecia’s dreams came true when she was invited to perform a “Writer’s In the Round” show with three other songwriters at the legendary Bluebird Café Nashville
in November 2014. Alecia has since returned to Nashville to record her first full length album, ‘Golden’ released spring of 2016! Alecia’s passion for song writing and performing is evident, as is her passion for helping others. A longtime supporter of World Vision, Alecia also takes every opportunity to perform benefit concerts for her local SPCA, extended care facilities, and various fundraising events. Alecia feels her purpose is to use her gift of music to make a positive difference in the world and help make everybody smile. Alecia and her band will be performing in the Agricultural Pavilion at the Agricultural Grounds on Sat. October 1st from 3-4:30pm. Admission is free. Don’t miss this opportunity to see this up and coming country star.

Lacombe Culture & Harvest Festival 2016 15
d n a e m Co Dance with us:
Lacombe Round Dance Club
Choreographed Ballroom Dancing (Round Dancing) is a unique form of social dancing where dances are choreographed to a specific piece of music. The dance figures conform predominantly to international ballroom standards and consist of all the standard dance rhythms … Waltz, Rumba, Cha Cha, Foxtrot, Tango, Two-step, Jive, etc. Choreographed Ballroom Dancing has evolved over the past fifty years and has an everexpanding inventory of over ten thousand choreographed dances. A piece of music is selected, and the different steps or figures are chosen to fit the music. The step-bystep instructions on how to dance this choreography is written out in a “cue sheet.” The cueing lets us dance lots of different dances without having to memorize the choreography. Dancers learn the dance steps as well as the figure names so that when the music is played the couple can follow the steps, prompted by the Cuer just in time for the next step to be danced. It is this aspect that makes Round Dancing especially unique. It is also challenging for the mind as well as the body. Compare this with free-style ballroom. In ballroom dancing, the man has to think of what figures he wants to do to the music and then lead his partner to do
those figures. This can be difficult for the man to do at least three things at the same time: think up the choreography, make his feet do what he has thought up, and lead the lady to do it with him. So, for the man, the cuer is a saviour. Someone else has thought up what steps should be done to this particular piece of music. So instead of only 6 or 8 different steps that one normally thinks of a round dance might easily have 30 or 40 different figures. This is not to say that Round Dancing is better than conventional ballroom. Rather, the two complement each other. Round Dancing helps you strengthen your basic repertoire of ballroom figures. It is found that each type of dancing reinforces the other and leads to greater enjoyment of dancing in general. And finally, it’s fun too!

Lacombe in Pictures Exhibit This year we’ve decided to have a photo exhibit of life in Lacombe and Lacombe County rather than a competition. It’s an opportunity for individuals to display pictures they have taken in the Lacombe region, recent or old, that display the beauty, vibrancy, life and activities in our community. We hope this event will provide an opportunity for new photographers to learn from others and to showcase their photos to friends and neighbours and even sell their work! Visit the Lacombe in Pictures Exhibit Friday September 23 until Sunday September 25 at the Lacombe Memorial Centre.
Central Alberta Woodworker & Wood Turners Guild Exhibit The Central Alberta Woodworkers & Wood Turners Guild has been a part of the Culture & Harvest Festival for the past 5 years, since the beginning of the festival.

See what the local craftsmen and artisans latest woodworking projects are during their exhibit on Saturday September 24 from 10am-4pm and Sunday September 25 from 1pm to 4pm at the Lacombe Memorial Centre.

The scene is the set where Anthony J. Lefcourt, writer and director, is rehearsing his new play, a “classic whodunit” A but his patience is worn thin by the petty jealousies and romantic comedy rivalries that detract from their concentration. In an effort to spur them on he “stages” the murder of one of the actresses, after which thriller the plot begins to twist and turn with such dazzling ingenuity—and hilarity—that soon actors and audience alike have lost track of what is real and what is make-believe Described as the Off-Broadway equivalent of Deathtrap, this deft and diabolically clever thriller mingles laughter and chills as it skillfully unwinds its twisted tale of murder and mayhem in the glittering world of the theatre.
