We finally made it to the Imagine Van Gogh exhibit in Edmonton. We got the tickets four month ago, yet we were unable to go due to pandemic regulations. It's been a beautiful day in the city, kid-free and relaxing. We enjoyed the art display and then went for Italian food and I mean the real deal. It was so good, including Tiramisu for dessert. Delicious. Then this weekend we attended the Lougheed Fair for the first time. I hate to admit we've never been before, but it's always on or around my birthday. This year we thought it would be a good time to explore and support local businesses. It's a wonderful event. There’s so much to do and see, I'm excited to go again next year. I definitely recommend checking it out and thank you to all the volunteers who help put it on. Well done. It’s something for all ages and the breeze gave
us a break from the insane heat. The kids knew about the Touch a Truck event so we went there as well. What a fantastic idea. There was everything. From police and rescue vehicles to combines, school busses, race cars, even a Zamboni, and many more. Unfortunately my two-year-old now thinks he can climb on any type of vehicle anywhere, but it was really nice to have the opportunity to explore and chat with all the emergency responders. It was another great event. Thank you to all who provided vehicles and helped make this event happen. Quick correction regarding last week’s news. The construction for the arena roof started at the north side, so the library entry is still open until they progress to the south end of the building. Premier Fire and Flood, who was awarded the project, and their sub-contractor Phoenix Roofing have committed to working seven days a week with 12 hour shifts until the roof is complete. The job is expected
Saturday, August 21 & Sunday, August 22
to take three to four weeks (weather dependent) with the rink ready to go for the Streetheart concert on Sept. 18. And a shout out to Hennie Bernard, who faithfully takes care of the flowers at the cemetery, puts them in, weeds, and waters them. Thank you for the labour of love. Whist was played in
Lougheed this week. The men’s high and travel were Gay Backen, mystery was Dan Lewis, and low was Brian Saucier. The women’s high was Jeanette Harris, mystery was Viv Sparrow, low was Gert Lewis, and travel was Jenny Liu. The next game is in Sedgewick on Aug. 12. Everyone is welcome to come and play.
Heisler Break-In Continued from Front
The truck was located later, abandoned a short distance away. RCMP members currently have no suspects and the matter remains under investigation. If you can provide further information, please
contact the Killam RCMP at 780-385-3509. Killam RCMP appreciates the public reporting when they see suspicious activity. If you see a crime in progress call 911.
