Your Weekend Guide to The Foothills - Sept 16th to 19th

Ah yes, fall. It's that time of year when there’s a chill (and a tell-tale fall smell) in the air, the leaves are changing, the stores are packed with pumpkin spice flavoured products, and Halloween decorations are popping up everywhere.

So, why not make the most of that perfect temperate weather and the festive spirit?

A few events taking place over the weekend in the foothills! Where will you go?

Live Music @ Tribal Connection - Ken Stead

Saturday, Sep 17 at 8:00PM 

With an open guitar case and heart, Edmonton singer-songwriter Ken Stead started by playing to commuters and computers at the airport, saving up every coin and bit of good will he earned to fund his debut record Fear Has No Place Here. Ken is known for silencing a room to a whisper, but with his new release, Civil War, he proves capable of starting an uproar.
