Next month, the county, along with a local culture society, will be co-hosting an event to celebrate the province’s founding.
According to County of Grande Prairie officials, they will be co-hosting a family-friendly Alberta Day event with the Wembley & District Arts, Culture & Historical Society. The September 1st event will be held at the Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum and Wembley & District Arts, Culture & Historical Society.
At the Philip J. Currie Dinosaur Museum, there will be free admission and bonebed tours, along with face painting, outdoor mini golf and crafts. At the Wembley & District Arts, Culture & Historical Society, there will be a show and shine event, a free barbecue lunch, indigenous craft workshops, along with live music, games, and wagon rides. There will also be a market that will highlight local growers, makers, and bakers.
Reeve Bob Marshall says Alberta Day is a day to come together as a community, and this partnership is an opportunity to do just that, to enjoy entertainment, and reflect on what makes not just the province but the region a special place to live.
“Whether you’re here for the music, the history, or just a fun day out with the family, Alberta Day is a chance to celebrate our shared heritage and the people who shape it,” Marshall says.
The event will take place on September 1st from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
