Alberta Culture Days helped those in and around Barrhead celebrate all of the culture Alberta, and Barrhead itself, has to offer.
With things kicking into gear on Friday evening, it was easy for everyone to get in the culture spirit.
It started off with a $3 ticket and a glass of wine, with a little cheese and snacks to follow suit. Everyone seemed to be out enjoying the first night of a weekend long celebration.
The sound of acoustic guitar and the Beatles could be heard throughout the library as Lori and Omer Sagbo sang for the crowd.
Artists could be seen setting up easels, and not only of just work they did in the past. Travis Ladouceur and Amanda Callihoo were on stand by, drawing pieces right before the audience’s eyes.
Adrian LaChance made his first performance that evening, singing songs of love in both his native tongue, and English.
His buffalo hide drum accompanied his voice through the highs and lows of the rhythmic music.
Saturday morning was busy with plenty of fun activities for everyone in the family.
Lego building was available for the kids in the library, with all shapes and sizes of pieces.
A lego house could be seen being constructed, with a robber who lives inside, as well as a helicopter being built close by.
Just outside of the library was plate painting, where children could pour paint into the middle of a paper plate, and watch it spin and turn into something beautiful.
Some children chose many colours, with others only choosing one or two.
The exhibit was available to peruse through Friday evening and Saturday morning, with ribbons announcing those who won first, second, and third prize.
The Barrhead Museum participated in the event by asking Alanna Dionne to make an appearance, and bring along some of the artifacts that she has collected over the years.
The museum was featuring the Métis culture, and Dionne’s items all fit the description.
Moccasins, coats, books, and handmade clothes could be seen scattering the shelves of the museum.
Adrian LaChance made yet another appearance, this time to share his stories with those who wished to learn about the Métis culture.
