The Drumheller Mail welcomed their second bike winner of the Canada Day Bike Contest. Ashtin Sweep, son of Alannah Sweep both reside in Texas but plan on moving back to Drumheller in the near future.
Pictured above is grandma Anna Sweep (Donais) holding on to the prize until they arrive. Great-Grandparents Eugene and Nonie Donais are also from the valley.
We have a bike winner! Sofia Ocampo, 10, daughter of Rosalio and Denise Ocampo (nee Greene) was down from Drayton Valley to take in the Canada Day parade with her grandparents Alex and Rena Lucas.
A photographer from the Drumheller Mail captured her photo, making her the first winner of the Mail's Win A Bike contest. Multimedia Journalist Terri Huxley of the Mail presented Sofia with her prize. Congratulations!

The new extension will the first of its kind in the valley and gives everyone a chance to be on the same playing field.
“It’s just great to support the community like this,” said Brad LeDrew, General Sales Manager at Western GM. “Greentree is just a fantastic school and this playground is just amazing and they’ve done just a great job so we’re just excited to be apart of that.”
With this cheque, the school is only $20,000 away from their goal amount.
