We had a very busy weekend! On Friday, we spent most of the day in downtown High Level at Sale-a-brate the Sun! It was an outdoor sidewalk sale and sort of trade show.

Then on Sunday, we participated in the Paddle the Peace event. It was a collaborative effort between several municipalities — the County of Northern Lights, Northern Sunrise County, Lac Cardinal County, City of Peace River, Smoky River Regional Economic Development — GeoTourism Canada and us. We paddled from Strong Creek Park (about 13 km south on Shaftesbury Trail) to the DMI bridge where Hwy 986 crosses the river (about 18 km downstream from the Riverfront Park). It was a great day, beautiful weather, and we had great turnout for our first year! Over 100 people! Next year, it will probably double as word of mouth spreads how much fun we had! What a great way to spend Father’s Day.

We took all our boats, except one, a whitewater canoe, down for the event. This pic is us all loaded up in High Level, ready to leave. More pics to follow — we were so busy with the day, we didn’t get any pictures! But lots of other people did, so I’ll add some later on.

By the way, don’t you love the artwork on our vehicle!?! Keep an eye out for us as we drive around Northern Alberta!
