ALS fund raising barbeque at Destination Cycles - Oct 16th
This was a humbling time. We got to meet a couple of very fun people who are traveling across Canada with hopes to raise both money and awareness for ALS also known as Lou Gehrig’s Disease. We got to meet one of Airdrie's residents that suffer from this horrible disease and we are amazed at his positive outlook and community involved this gentleman has. We can all learn a little from his determination and will.

Blue Grass Great Pumpkin Drop
WOW what a great day of fun for the whole family. We had a bit of a time keeping Alioops mingling instead of playing on the play structure and riding in the pumpkin chariot. The whole day’s event was to help raise money for the Children's Hospital. There were hay rides, pumpkin chariot rides, pumpkin carving, coloring, a petting zoo and not to mention an amazing garden centre to stroll through and enjoy. The total amount raised for the day’s events comes in and around close to $10,000.00 the number isn't final.

Emerson Drive Concert - Held July 1st 2007
Emerson Drive put on an INCREDIBLE concert for thousands on Canada Day. Also performing, were Durango, Carly Henry and Mark Lorenz. Great Show.... Great evening. I dare say that "Here's the Scoop" Boss Lois, may have had a bit of a crush on Patrick (Base Player for Emerson Drive).
Airdrie Pro Rodeo - Week of July 1st 2007
What can you say about the Airdrie Pro Rodeo. The weather was great, the Bulls were rank and the Broncs were mean. Lois, Helen and Laura from "Here's the Scoop" chatted it up with Calgary Flames GM Daryl Sutter in the VIP booth, while I took in the action at ground level. We'll let the pictures do the rest of the talking.
