It's time to party and this year, I am able to enjoy Stampede again. We are enjoying seeing the NZ Morris family, whose son Ben married Albertan Karla at Rafter Six Ranch July 4th. A great merger between a large Alberta family and NZ - a cultural melange of Maori meets line dancing at the wedding dance! Great to have his uncle Bruce and Kathy here from London to rodeo with us this year.
Banff Centre celebrates 75 years of cultural programs this year so lots of great performances in the beautiful Rockies. We are using our RV a lot to spend as much time in the mountains as possible.
July 8 sees the start of the Mount Royal College Music bridge program, bringing gifted students from Canada and China together, with a few from other countries too now. I am a supporter for this program so we enjoy the extremely gifted performances by students and faculty too.
July 18-28 e head north to spend time with Gerdy/Jacques in Edmonton, Nancy/Colin at Gull Lake then more concerts at Banff.
