Jaydee Bixby has been singing about quality small town girls lately, and will be heading back to his hometown for Canada Day.
He will be coming to Drumheller to play some shows and pre-release his new album, “Cowboys and Cadillacs.”
Drumheller will be the first town to get a chance to purchase his album which will not be officially released until July 8.
“He is so pumped to be coming back to Drumheller, and we were so excited to find out that HRM Records is going to pre-release his record first to Drumheller!” said Jaydee’s mom Shelley Bixby.
Bixby and his new band, will be playing their first show on Monday, June 30, at Red’s Place starting at 10 p.m. At 5 p.m. there will be a three dollar burger patio barbecue with all proceeds going to the Morgan Jayne Project.
Bixby will also be playing on Canada Day and will have his parents opening both nights.
ATCO Electric held an open house on Wednesday, June 18 at the Morrin Community Centre. The event was a chance for the company to meet and mingle with the community. The team of Terry Beaupre, power line technician and team lead, service, and service point representative Jessica Veenhuis had a shocking demonstration about electricity safety. They described various scenarios and showed how easily they could become deadly if precautions are not taken. Beaupre said the electrified model set is used for elementary school students as a learning tool. Often it is the youngsters that go home and teach their parents about electricity safety.
