Farmers' Day Float


Farmers' Days
The Town of Stony Plain - Farmers' Days and Kinsmen Rodeo runs from Friday, June 3 to Sunday, June 5, 2011 at Heritage Park.
The annual event features a community parade at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, June 4, a midway, carnival games, and a children's activity area throughout the weekend.
The Kinsmen Rodeo and the arm wrestling competition are favourite events returning this year.

To celebrate our 35th anniversary we will be entering a float in the parade.  The theme is service in the community and we have a long history of serving through promoting clay in the community with our pottery education classes.  We are quite excited about our float with a kick wheel and potter demonstrating throwing.  We  really are wondering what the pots will look like after all the stopping and starting of the quad that is pulling the float.  We are confident that if anyone can throw on a moving float it is Bob Barclay, master potter.  Jan Lloyd has ordered candy for the children and is making coupons for a draw of gift certificates for the gallery to be handed out to the adults.  If the weather is in our favor it will be a fun time for all.
Guild members that want to help contact Jen for directions and info about decorating the float.

Our poster and an ad for the open house are posted at the Multicultural Centre Gallery.  The lighting was not good in the hallway but you can notice the poster on the right side of the hall.
