My wife keeps reminding me that it’s “only May. The “only” is due to the heat, the wildfires and, again, the heat.
We all got more than our share of wildfire smoke during our Victoria Day May long weekend. My eyes sting, my throat is raspy and I smell like I sat through an all-night poker game, with chain smokers. Let’s hope and pray that the rains come down and our firefighters get some help in getting things under control.
In this time of graduations, I see that Trochu Valley School Graduation take solace this coming Saturday, May 27, 2023. We wish all of the grads best wishes in their future endeavours. Remember, The Capital will publish the Kneehill Graduation Guide later in June.
Coming right up is Cruise Weekend in Three Hills. It all starts June 2 with the Meet and Greet and Cruise. Saturday, June 3, kicks off with the Annual Hearty Cruise Breakfast. What a way to start your day! Head for the Knox United Church on the corner of Main Street and 5th Ave from 8 am until noon. Load Up on pancakes, sausages, scrambled eggs, juice, coffee and tea. 11 and up is $15; 10 and under is $5. Takeout is available.
There will be vendors, food booths and, later in the day and Sunday, bracket races (drags) at the Three Hills Airport. Let’s hope for ideal weather conditions.
And just a friendly reminder that Cruise Weekend is a ‘No Pets Zone” so please keep your pets at home.
Please be advised that the rules of the road do apply and there will be added enforcement in Three Hills and out on our highways over Cruise Weekend. “Play by the rules and everybody wins.
