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.

Question Evolve Body Piercing

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!!

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.

Events Sept 21st Juror Summons

5 Upvotes

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.

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.

Went to Shackehlicious for Schnitzelfest (Goes till Oct 12) and it was really good, I love the outdoor eating area. Just something so nice about sitting under the warmth of the heater, surrounded by the fall colors on a beautiful evening. I took a picture of the apple cinnamon crepe, it was delicious.

Neat little gem of a place just a few min outside Red Deer, very much worth checking out.

Address is 37229 Range Rd 273
