The Innisfail Legion was overtaken by bears, and no one was injured.
“Our first annual Christmas Luncheon was very successful,” said Diane Mineault, the chamber's executive director. “ We had a good crowd that included Sylvan Lake-Innisfail Wildrose MLA Kerry Towle, Red Deer County mayor Jim Wood, and best of all, the community of Innisfail won.”
The Christmas Luncheon was held Dec. 20 at the legion from 11:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. and the winners of the ‘Very Beary Country Christmas'/Christmas Light Up promotion were announced.
A group of seniors judged the ‘Beary Country Christmas/Christmas Light Up' promotion, and had a difficult time judging the 15 entries Dec 17. The winners are:
Best House: Peter Lamboo, 4494-54A Crescent
Best Street-Betty Malcom and Rae Ann Hill, 4108/9A 49A Ave.

A silent auction was held after the luncheon, raising funds for chamber activities.
