The Valley Cruisers of the Big Country Antique Auto Club are continuing their summer series of cruises. On Thursday, August 3, the club gathered at the plaza for a slice of pizza before heading through local campgrounds to the delight of visitors to the valley. The club has made this a summer tradition on Thursday nights, patronizing a local business and then parading for spectators. See their Facebook page for the remaining cruises this August.
The Drumheller RCMP is investigating an early morning break and enter and theft from the Westview Co-op hardware store.

A myriad of projects are underway in the valley this summer including the building of the downtown flood mitigation dike. Crews from Wilco have begun work along Riverside Drive closing the path, removing the barrier, and preparing the site for the new flood mitigation efforts. Be mindful of construction traffic as the projects continue.
