(We may not sell rhu-barb pies until we are sure wehave enough to serve at thetea). Our Rhubarb Cookbookswill be for sale at the Tea($10.00 each) and we will alsohave the history books "In theLight of the Flares" availablefor $25.00 each.

The Diamond Valley QuiltClub has again organized aQuilt Show as part of the cele-bration. The array of beautifulquilts submitted by quilters inthe surrounding area will bedisplayed to advantage in theArts Council gallery and willprovide a kaleidoscope of col-our and shapes to please theeyes of the beholders. Firstand second place ribbons willbe awarded to the quilts cho-sen by the viewers' votes.Another award will be receivedby the best first-time quilter. Ifvisitors wish to view the quiltsonly and vote for their favour-ite, the charge is a loonie.

We hope the whole commu-nity will accept the SheepCreek Arts Council's invitationto join us for the Rhubarb Teaand Quilt Show on June 2ndat l:00 p.m. in the ValleyNeighbours' Club at 133 Sun-set Blvd. (west of the four-waystop) in Turner Valley.

With the return of warm weather comes thereturn of time spent outdoors. After a winter spenthuddled up inside avoiding the cold, the arrival ofspring is often welcomed with open arms.

The welcome mat for spring often includes aday trip with the family.

First make sure your vehicle's oil, brake andcoolant levels are topped up and tire pressures arechecked. Put a map in the glove box 'just in case'.

Bring something for the kids to do in the car.Or better yet, parents can employ more traditionalroad trip fare by playing some favourite gamesfrom yesteryear. These games include the LicensePlate Game, I Spy or 20 Questions to make a tripmore fun for adults and children alike.

Obey the speed limit. In addition to avoidingcostly speeding tickets, obeying the speeding limitcan also save you money by increasing fuel effi-ciency.

Pre-pack snacks for the trip instead of stop-ping along the way. This can help save money andalso allows parents to plan healthier snacks.When packing snacks, let the kids pack a fewitems for themselves. This will make them enjoythem more.

Take along wet wipes – they are invaluableand don't forget small kitchen catcher garbagebags.

When you arrive at your destination, be it afamiliar spot or somewhere new, scout out a goodplace for a rendezvous just in case you get split up.Look for something higher up so that kids will be

able to see it above the crowd.Ask if there is a Visitor's Information Centre

in town and visit it.Remember when watching a parade do not

let your kids run out to pick up candy from thefloats – a horse or car can easily hit your child byaccident.

Remember to have all your Health CareCards with you and it doesn't hurt to have a list ofany allergies and medications for each member ofthe family tucked away in the glove box.

Phone ahead to book hotels, motels andcampgrounds – summer gets busy and booked upquickly.

Plan for sightseeing. Part of the enjoyment ofa road trip is to actually take the scenic route andenjoy roads which you may have never traveledbefore. This is not a race and no awards will begiven out at the end for making good time. There-fore, slow down and enjoy the scenery. Isn't thatwhy you're driving, after all?

Visit family or friends en route to your desti-nation. Those heading out on an extended week-end getaway can save money on hotels or meals bycalling family and friends and either staying over-night or simply visiting for a meal. Grandma andGrandpa would no doubt appreciate a visit andmight even offer to let you stay the night and savethe expense of a costly hotel.

Check out the local newspaper's website forwhat will be happening when you get to where youplan to go.

Town of Black DiamondCome Get Diamondized...

To experience uniqueness, TAKE THE BACK ROADS. Located 30 minutes south of Calgary, at the intersection of highway 7

and 22, our Town is the ideal location for a day trip. Strolling down the well-preserved historic downtown you will experience what

the Town looked like in the 1920s while smelling the fragrance of pocket gardens located between stores. Then you only have to

step into a store to find treasures you won't see elsewhere. You might want to end your stroll by visiting the world's largest black

diamond and rubbing the coal cart for luck.

Our past has guided our present successes so we have preserved our downtown to honour our history. Black Diamond

takes its name from the coal deposits discovered in the late 1800s by a government land surveyor, James McMillan. In 1899, a coal

mine was opened near the west bank of the Sheep River, just west of the town. This mine produced 650 tons of high-grade coal

which was shipped by wagon to Okotoks for many years. A few of the coal seams that were mined are still visible today from the

Friendship Trail, a 3 kilometer paved pedestrian trail linking the two amazing towns of Black Diamond and Turner Valley.

Black Diamond is located on the sparkling Sheep River in the foothills of Alberta's Rocky Mountains. Just a 30 minute drive

southwest of Calgary, our Town is your entrance to rolling ranchlands and beautiful Kananaskis Country.

A serene mountain backdrop, friendly residents, an amazingly well

preserved historic 1920s boomtown

downtown, thriving local artists, and

the world's largest black diamond

make Black Diamond truly unique.

Today, Black Diamond grows

and prospers as a result of tourism,

service-based industries, farming and

ranching. Success has meant that we

are growing and doing so in a smart

and ecologically friendly manner that

will appeal to residents looking for an

affordable place to live, and business

owners looking for a relaxing lifestyle

while making a good living. We offer a

wide range of recreational facilities,

community events, and activities that will

entertain all age groups and encourage

people to come experience all that we

have to offer.

Town of Turner Valley

Town of Turner Valley

Located in the lap of the majestic Rockies and situated on Calgary’s urban

fringe, Turner Valley captures the essence of small town values – a relaxed

atmosphere offering a myriad of outdoor recreation and cultural opportu-

nities. Just minutes away from Kananaskis Country, Turner Valley provides

visitors an experience to remember.

Quaint coffee shops, dining delights featuring the freshest locally grown

foods, intimate live music performances, local artisans displaying their tal-

ents - enjoy small town charm, unplugged.

Considered a musical hub in Southern Alberta, Turner Valley and its

neighbour Black Diamond, foster budding stars and well-known rhythm

masters. It’s worth the drive to enjoy the outstanding talent featured in pro-

fessional performances delivered by the Beneath the Arch Concert Society

or a weekend afternoon jam session offered in a number of local busi-

nesses. Watch for events throughout the year featuring the works of local

artists and celebrations honouring the town’s heritage featuring fun for all

ages.

Black Diamond's 43rd annual parade theme is a 'Salute to the Calgary

Stampede' in honour of the Stampede's Centennial. To celebrate rural

support for the Stampede, Black Diamond is proud to announce two

parade Marshalls: a local and current Stampede participant, Tyler

Thomson, 2011 Canadian Pro Bull Riding Champion; and a local and

former Stampede participant, Donna Brasso, the 1962 Stampede

Queen. Tyler and Donna are both Thomsons and their family members

have been regular Stampede participants for 3 proud generations.

Longview is the Gateway to

Kananaskis and has some of the best

camping, fishing, hunting, canoeing and

rafting in North America. Longview is fortunate to be in the

Foothills of the beautiful Rocky Mountains, with the most sce-

nic terrain in our province offering a

world of outdoor recreation. Once called

Little New York, Longview is a small

friendly Village nestled between the

majestic Rocky Mountains and oil-rich

ranchlands. Situated on the Highwood

River, the Village is surrounded by

breathtaking scenery and boasts gour-

met restaurants, coffee shops, arts and

crafts, art galleries, gift shops, hotel,

motel and a full-facility campground.

There really is something for everyone

in Longview, so come stop by for the

weekend or just pop in for a meal, but

once you come you won't want to leave

the prettiest little village in all of

Alberta.

With all that's happening in and

around Longview, you can't help but

experience something new and different

each and every time you visit. Even a

drive through the country can bring you

closer to nature. Come on by and join us

for one of our great summer festivities!
