This is a great site! Thanks for keeping it current! I plan a lot of my weekend activities based on what’s mentioned here 🙂 Keep up the good work!
The Annual Field of Dreams have been changed to August 11th, 2018 at Foothills Stadium.
Another thing to do is checking out this new business called Escape 60. It’s going to be holding events for stampede/parties. Good option for tourists https:// www. escape60.ca/ I went there last weekend, it was amazing! This site is great for information and is very current. Keep it up!
Typically, I really like this site, as your team seems to always recommend a number of great things to do. Unfortunately, this weekend, you’ve chosen to also include Jordan Peterson, a well-know and flagrant men’s rights activist, who is openly anti-women. I know that you can’t research into everyone and everything that you post up here, but, this is one person who isn’t worthy of this list.
great site thank you
Hey Douglas this is a…things to do site not a public opinion site.
Douglas – Life must really be difficult for you, especially when you’re flagrantly entitled. God forbid there be any opinion that differs from yours. Grow up.
Always a pleasure to be able to scroll through all the wonderful options that you have so thoughtfully laid out for all of us. Thank you so much for helping me plan my next adventure in our fabulous city.
Douglas
Thank you for sharing about that god awful event. I will steer clear! Appreciate it 🙂
Thank you so much for setting up and maintaining this site! Every week I find and experience activities that I would not have know about otherwise, love it!
Do your own research douglas. Jordan Peterson is everything except what you said. grow up.
Love this site!
Any chance it will be made into an app where we can save various events? 🙂
Thank you for the suggestion. We will look into it.
what the heck, today is June 28, I would like to see “THIS WEEKEND” and all I see is july 5 and onward
Douglas – Jordan Peterson is not anti-female. How did you even come to such a conclusion? Did he hurt your feels??
Jeeze, DOUGLAS.
