Nearly 80 people braved the recent snowstorm on Saturday, April 27 to attend a maritime-themed dinner and dance at the Sundre Royal Canadian Legion Branch #223. It featured a live musical performance by The Country Travellers.
Here, legion member Chris Ferguson, left, shares a laugh with Calgary resident Will McCallum. McCallum was the winner of a competition for the Ugly Stick — a traditional Newfoundland musical instrument fashioned out of household and tool shed items. Bottle caps, tin cans, small bells and other noisemakers adorn a mop or broom handle with a boot attached to the bottom to generate a distinctively unique sound. Several local businesses also donated gift cards for the event.
