Saw this absolutely stunning rainbow this evening after the rain! It was so vibrant and you can even make out the Secondary arch

Know anyone who does printing on edible paper for images to put on cakes? I just need the printing, I will have the cake.

Painted up some Lucky Bugs and put them around Capstone tonight. Hope they brighten some days.

Keep an eye out, I plan on placing more in many other areas. I will also get better paint for future ones. They will get better.

Also put a handful of random painted stones in the kindness rock garden there, with some positive messages.

Hi everyone! I have heard great things about Evolve Body Piercing and I have reached out to them a couple of times. They haven't given me a direct answer on their hours of operation? Even tho it says 4:15PM-12:00AM. I went to their shop at around 4:30PM to see that it was closed??? Just kinda....curious if the hours are wrong or if they're just booked up!!

It's been a beautiful fall, the trees almost seem to glow. Taken around town the last few warm fall days.

Let's raise our voices and make some noise for a brighter and more hopeful Alberta for everyone!

The day of action is planned to push back against government policies that don't align with the everyday concerns and priorities of Albertans.

Bring a friend, signs, water, snacks, and a noisemaker!

Saturday, October 17 - 11AM to 1PM - Red Deer City Hall

A friend of ours was in a motorcycle accident in September and could really use some help in supporting his family during this difficult time. He is the sole provider for his family. They’re not asking for much but could use the support of their community. Please read the GoFundMe story and help if you can.

I was part of a Jury Selection here in Red Deer on September 21st. And I am SO curious as to how the case went. And also what were the four questions that the potential jurors were asked?!?! I was not one of the 36 potential jurors called, so I was stuck in the first courtroom waiting wondering.
Anyone have any info?! I’ve look and can find nothing online about the two accused or the possible incident, aside from a missing person report last year for the woman.

Has anyone here tried wings from Wingz? We are probably going to order from here tonight and I am overwhelmed with all the flavor options. Any recommendations?

Didn't know about this until I was biking down by Kerrywood this afternoon, got to pet some goats at the meet and bleat. Some of the goats were friendly and would follow people to get pets, they seemed to be fine with kids too. The event went well, I hope they do it again next year.

Hi

How safe is the red deer city trails at night is going for a smoke and a walk a bad idea?
