I think this is an annual event at millwoods town centre. If you have toddlers & young kids I'd…read moredefinitely recommend this to warm them up for rides at Kdays or any theme park really. The rides my kid went on wasn't scary, in fact she rode the rollercoaster by herself & thought it was much slower than Disneyworld's, but still fun. Some rides are actually made just for wee ones like the car carousel & plane ride, although they do expect parents to do any assists into ride and to buckle their child in. It's about 3-6 tickets per ride, with each ticket costing $1 each unless you buy a large amount in bulk or buy wristbands to only ride during specific times. I don't think the tickets expire either, so that's a win for me to return next year. They had carnival games as well running an average of $5 per round. There are portapotties there, thank goodness because the mall entrance is really far since Target closed. As a grown up, the best part about going is the food! They have your standard carnival fare like taco in a bag, elephant ears, cotton candy. Overall, I think it's a great way to kick off summer with your small children at a small venue packed with a lot of fun!

The space has a lot of seating for pairs, but we were allowed to move tables and chairs to gather at with our group of 6. There's beautiful metalwork art for sale on one wall and the other side has a nice selection of teas, crystals, clothing, jewellery, incense, and other fun 'mystic' merchandise. They've also have a lot of healthy food and snacks on display too. My kids happened to like the scones, so much so, that I bought 3 as an afternoon snack! The cream and jam complimented those scones really well. Cally's teas are a part of Clair-I-tea (I was a little sad when I heard they closed their previous location a year ago, but glad they have re-appeared here!). They have a great assortment of teas, it's really hard to pick one, but there's little tins that you can open and smell, plus they also label the ones that are caffeinated which helps tons when my kids are in tow. I chose earl grey cream and winter cherry tea; it's perfect for sitting & relaxing in the space and you get a whole pot of tea to go with the fancy little tea setting. I actually want to come back to buy a bag of tea now because the flavours are pretty unique to me. They also have psychic services too, available by drop-in or booked appointments; you can choose what kind of reading: tarot, palm, etc. The wall opposite of the cashier has the names of the fortune tellers and what their pricing is like which is fairly reasonable and helps to avoid any surprises when it comes to payment. My friends had their tarot read in the back room and the psychic also let them record the reading on their phone and take pictures of their tarot spread which is really helpful to reflect on later! Overall, I really appreciated the service here, and enjoyed my afternoon tea; I definitely will be coming back to try out the psychic services and pick up a few stones for my crystal grid!

The main gallery is a great snapshot of Alberta history told through the evolution of the personal vehicle. My favourite section was getting to see how farming equipment has changed over time. I also enjoyed the more interactive exhibits where you got to sit inside the vehicles. To my surprise, the museum isn't just about cars. A second building houses the Aviation Hall of Fame which displays various airplanes and helicopters. I would highly recommend this museum to anyone interested in something a little different or to bring your car loving relative.

2010 was the best year yet for the Blueberry Bluegrass Festival!…read more The lineup was stellar (aside from a couple of local bands that had decent musicianship but poor vocal performances), and they brought in more high-end bands than ever. I missed Fred Eaglesmith on Friday; but I (and everyone with me) really enjoyed The Spinney Brothers, Rhonda Vincent & The Rage, The Mashville Brigade and particularly Dailey & Vincent. Having tastes that lean to more progressive stylings, my hands-down favorite was The Claire Lynch Band. They took a while to set up, but were worth the wait... they blew everyone away and departed from the beaten path. This festival offers solid lineups year after year, and is a must-attend for anyone into acoustic and traditional music.

The Andrew Garlic Festival is held around the July 1st weekend each year. Their website is here to find out specific information: http://www.andrewagsociety.com/ The whole festival sounds like a lot of fun. We were on a schedule so we couldn't spend the day here but we may do that another year. The weather also wasn't great this year so that kind of put a damper on the outdoor activities. There is a pancake breakfast, famers market, perogy dinner, parade, car show, hay rides, beer gardens, entertainment, supper and dance, and much more. We only had time to stop and check out the Farmers Market portion of the festival. We picked up a few items and some big Russian Garlic. This looks to be a great family festival about 1 hour outside of Edmonton. If you are a garlic lover or just want to have some fun check it out!
