Trip Tips

Rhubarb And Quilts A Feast For The Tummy And The Eyes The Seventh Annual Rhubarb Festival and Quilt Show will be sponsored on June 2nd, 2012 by the Sheep Creek Arts Council as part of the Diamond Valley Parade and Discovery Days celebration in Black Diamond/Turner Valley. Just follow the Stuart Cameron antique truck, carrying our signs in the Parade, over to 133 Sunset Blvd. in Turner Valley, and join us for rhubarb pie or crisp, tea or coffee, or rhubarb punch from l:00 to 4:00 p.m. The tea will be served at a cost of $5.00. The Bake Sale will begin at 1l:00 a.m. and will include all good things baked with rhubarb. (We may not sell rhubarb pies until we are sure we have enough to serve at the tea). Our Rhubarb Cookbooks will be for sale at the Tea ($10.00 each) and we will also have the history books "In the Light of the Flares" available for $25.00 each.

The Diamond Valley Quilt Club has again organized a Quilt Show as part of the celebration. The array of beautiful quilts submitted by quilters in the surrounding area will be displayed to advantage in the Arts Council gallery and will provide a kaleidoscope of colour and shapes to please the eyes of the beholders. First and second place ribbons will be awarded to the quilts chosen by the viewers' votes. Another award will be received by the best first-time quilter. If visitors wish to view the quilts only and vote for their favourite, the charge is a loonie. We hope the whole community will accept the Sheep Creek Arts Council's invitation to join us for the Rhubarb Tea and Quilt Show on June 2nd at l:00 p.m. in the Valley Neighbours' Club at 133 Sunset Blvd. (west of the four-way stop) in Turner Valley.

With the return of warm weather comes the return of time spent outdoors. After a winter spent huddled up inside avoiding the cold, the arrival of spring is often welcomed with open arms. The welcome mat for spring often includes a day trip with the family. | First make sure your vehicle's oil, brake and coolant levels are topped up and tire pressures are checked. Put a map in the glove box 'just in case'. | Bring something for the kids to do in the car. Or better yet, parents can employ more traditional road trip fare by playing some favourite games from yesteryear. These games include the License Plate Game, I Spy or 20 Questions to make a trip more fun for adults and children alike. | Obey the speed limit. In addition to avoiding costly speeding tickets, obeying the speeding limit can also save you money by increasing fuel efficiency. | Pre-pack snacks for the trip instead of stopping along the way. This can help save money and also allows parents to plan healthier snacks. When packing snacks, let the kids pack a few items for themselves. This will make them enjoy them more. | Take along wet wipes – they are invaluable and don't forget small kitchen catcher garbage bags. | When you arrive at your destination, be it a familiar spot or somewhere new, scout out a good place for a rendezvous just in case you get split up. Look for something higher up so that kids will be

able to see it above the crowd. | Ask if there is a Visitor's Information Centre in town and visit it. | Remember when watching a parade do not let your kids run out to pick up candy from the floats – a horse or car can easily hit your child by accident. | Remember to have all your Health Care Cards with you and it doesn't hurt to have a list of any allergies and medications for each member of the family tucked away in the glove box. | Phone ahead to book hotels, motels and campgrounds – summer gets busy and booked up quickly. | Plan for sightseeing. Part of the enjoyment of a road trip is to actually take the scenic route and enjoy roads which you may have never traveled before. This is not a race and no awards will be given out at the end for making good time. Therefore, slow down and enjoy the scenery. Isn't that why you're driving, after all? | Visit family or friends en route to your destination. Those heading out on an extended weekend getaway can save money on hotels or meals by calling family and friends and either staying overnight or simply visiting for a meal. Grandma and Grandpa would no doubt appreciate a visit and might even offer to let you stay the night and save the expense of a costly hotel. | Check out the local newspaper's website for what will be happening when you get to where you plan to go.

Town of Black Diamond

Black Diamond's 43rd annual parade theme is a 'Salute to the Calgary Stampede' in honour of the Stampede's Centennial. To celebrate rural support for the Stampede, Black Diamond is proud to announce two parade Marshalls: a local and current Stampede participant, Tyler Thomson, 2011 Canadian Pro Bull Riding Champion; and a local and former Stampede participant, Donna Brasso, the 1962 Stampede Queen. Tyler and Donna are both Thomsons and their family members have been regular Stampede participants for 3 proud generations.

Come Get Diamondized... To experience uniqueness, TAKE THE BACK ROADS. Located 30 minutes south of Calgary, at the intersection of highway 7 and 22, our Town is the ideal location for a day trip. Strolling down the well-preserved historic downtown you will experience what the Town looked like in the 1920s while smelling the fragrance of pocket gardens located between stores. Then you only have to step into a store to find treasures you won't see elsewhere. You might want to end your stroll by visiting the world's largest black diamond and rubbing the coal cart for luck. Our past has guided our present successes so we have preserved our downtown to honour our history. Black Diamond takes its name from the coal deposits discovered in the late 1800s by a government land surveyor, James McMillan. In 1899, a coal mine was opened near the west bank of the Sheep River, just west of the town. This mine produced 650 tons of high-grade coal which was shipped by wagon to Okotoks for many years. A few of the coal seams that were mined are still visible today from the Friendship Trail, a 3 kilometer paved pedestrian trail linking the two amazing towns of Black Diamond and Turner Valley. Black Diamond is located on the sparkling Sheep River in the foothills of Alberta's Rocky Mountains. Just a 30 minute drive southwest of Calgary, our Town is your entrance to rolling ranchlands and beautiful Kananaskis Country. A serene mountain backdrop, friendly residents, an amazingly well preserved historic 1920s boomtown downtown, thriving local artists, and rban on Calgary’s u ed the world's largest black diamond at tu si d an s tic Rockie a relaxed make Black Diamond truly unique. town values – lap of the majes l e al th sm in f o d te ce n ca uLo Today, Black Diamond grows ptures the esse cultural opport ca d y an le n al V o ti er ea rn cr des fringe, Tu utdoor re and prospers as a result of tourism, er Valley provi g a myriad of o rn in Tu er y, ff tr o n e u o er h C s atmosp ananaski service-based industries, farming and s away from K te u in m st Ju s. nitie ranching.
