Itinerary: Our first stop is at the Reynolds Alberta Museum in Wetaskiwin.
From the website: The smells are sweet and the noise is big at the Reynolds-Alberta Museum's Harvest Festival in Wetaskiwin this August 30 and 31, 2008. See more than 40 pieces of vintage agricultural machinery in action, check out the bread-baking demonstrations which happen each day, all day long and learn how to bake everything from focaccia bread to bagels to cinnamon buns! There’ll be plenty of free samples – made even better when spread with the butter you’ve made yourself. Before you head home, don't forget to pick up some fresh-baked bread or other goodies from the Farmer's Market.
After the Harvest Festival, we will head south to Lacombe to navigate the annual corn maze! This year, the Lacombe corn maze has partnered with the Canadian Foodgrains Bank and their quest to end world hunger. And with our spectacular growing season this year, the corn is 7+ ft. this year! Way more than enough to get lost in.
We will aim to be at the Harvest Festival in Wetaskiwin between 4PM and 6PM. We can have dinner break at the Festival or on the road and be at the Lacombe Corn Maze around 7PM.
It is encouraged that you arrange your own carpool. If you participate in the central carpool, you are agreeing to pay/receive the reimbursements calculated by your coordinator, which includes gas and maintenance costs and do not vary with the number of passengers. If you participate in central carpool, DO NOT pay your driver enroute, as the cost will be calculated upon arrival.
I have set up a thread on the EOC Forums to discuss this event. Great for questions, arranging carpools, and dinner suggestions!
