Three Hills, Alberta

After visiting with family and friends in Rocky Mountain House, Edmonton and Red Deer we moved over to Three Hills recreational park.  We discovered that a Show and Shine was scheduled for the weekend we were there and it was fun to walk down the length of main street and view so many entries. This is a great weekend for Three Hills and has become known about far and wide. If you want to learn a bit more about it, here is the website address - www.threehillscruise.ca . Check out this year's festivities and maybe next year if you come this way you can partake of some of the events.

There were lots of enthusiasts viewing cars on display on main street and there were equally as many cars being driven around town.  There were vendor booths and food booths doing a booming business.  Thank goodness the day was sunny because there was nothing but rain before and there has been nothing but rain afterwards.

Today even with it raining we ventured into the countryside.  We drove by Swalwell reservoir and saw a family of Canadian Geese on the dam.  Lots of blackbirds in the cattails and trees.
