It's the last weekend of summer : (  But, lets not dwell on that because there is so much FUN stuff going on this weekend! : D

 

On Saturday, I'll be spending the day in Olde Town Okotoks where the Country Fair AND First Saturday is going to be happening.  At 8:00am, you can join us for a pancake breakfast in Lions Park.  Then at 10:00am, the pet parade (how cute!) will go, it'll be followed by the Chili Cook-Off on Elk Avenue at 11:00am.  There's lots of other stuff you can check out such as the petting zoo, wagon rides, games and more!  First Saturday Festival is also happening.  Most events there are FREE!  It's a monthly festival of arts and culture.  There'll be a mix of arts, special entertainment, and special offers from downtown merchants.

 

I'll spend Sunday at the 20th Annual Okotoks Pro Rodeo.  It starts at 1:00pm on the Sunday, but if you want you can also check out the rodeo on Friday and Saturday at 7:00pm.  

 

And on Monday, head to Foothills Composite High School for 8:00am for the 32nd Annual Sheepriver Road Race.  The 2km kid's race starts at 8:30am while the adult 5 and 10km start at 9:15am.  The road race is put on by Big Rock Runners who are a recreational running club in Okotoks.  

 

I hope to see you out there!
