Congratulations to the Alberta Beach & District Lion's Club, on making this year's Sno-Mo Days a FAMILY FUN filled long weekend. A big thank you to the corporate sponsors and the many dedicated volunteers who braved the cold weather and for the many hours they contributed to making this a successful year."BEST EVER", the first words spoken whenever there is a conversation about the 2011 Sno-Mo Days. All the events were well attended and a success by any measure. It was a great joy to watch the kids and the young at heart as they raced down the giant slide or wound their way through the maze at The Winter Ice Park. This new attraction was introduced this year courtesy of Mr. Richard Demers and the Investors Group and sponsored by the Alberta Beach and District Chamber of Commerce. I would like to thank them for their community spirit and sponsorship in bringing this new attraction to our winter festival. Mr. Demers is committed to making next year's winter park bigger and better. I am delighted to find his enthusiasm has not been diminished by the mindless actions of the vandal(s) that chose to spend their time destroying the maze and slide. Sharon and I spent Saturday evening at the Heritage Centre's first ever spaghetti dinner hosted by the Alberta Beach and District 50+ Club. As usual the food was excellent and the portions king sized, unfortunately I didn't have room for the coconut cream pie! Saturday night's fireworks display was outstanding and a treat for all that braved the outdoors to watch.
On Behalf of the Village Council and Staff - Thank you!
