This weekend there are literally dozens of things to roar about; after all, it’s DinoFest.
This is the second annual DinoFest and leading up to the event, organizers were promising to make it bigger and better. They have lived up to their word; more food, more music, more fun.
“There is just all kinds of great things going on,” said Mike Dooley, member of the Drumheller Festival Committee, which organizes the event.
A number of the events you came to know and love are back, including Taste of Drumheller, where a full slate of Drumheller restaurants will be set up letting residents and visitors have a sample of their offering. Last year this was one of the highlights for many who attended.
“There is going to be a farmers market too, with quite a few different vendors from around town and special guests from outside of town, including the Tour of Alberta,” said Dooley.
Also back is the Encana Kidszone where there will be all kinds of fun for youngsters ready to run off some energy.
There are also kids activities presented by the Royal Tyrrell Museum, Dinosaur Provincial Park, and the Atlas Coal Mine.
New for the kidlets, is the Kids Dino Costume Parade. This is on Saturday morning at 9:50 a.m. This is a chance to get scary and "Walk the Dinosaur".
The Main Stage will be rocking all weekend with great musical entertainment from a variety of acts including Western Canadian Music Award winner Joel Camp in Friday to Sit Down, Servant, featuring Gordie Johnson Saturday.
End Friday and Saturday nights in front of the ATB Financial jumbo screen at MovieNites at DinoFest. The show starts at 10:45 p.m. Friday night features Ice Age 3, Dawn of the Dinosaurs and Saturday, The Land Before Time is the feature.
This is just a smattering of all the fun and activities this weekend. A full Schedule is available at www.drumhellerdinofest.com or see pages 8 & 9 of this week's edition of inSide Drumheller.
