Millarville Horticultural Club
The Millarville Horticultural Club had a fun meeting in October with two guest speakers. Rene Miller made a presentation on Dehydrating Vegetables, Fruits, and Herbs. Cheryl Greisinger from Forage and Farm gave us some handy tips on planting garlic and brought some garlic for purchase.
For those who are new to the area, we welcome everyone who want to learn and share ideas on gardening. Meetings are held at the Millarville Church House, usually the second Tuesday of each month, from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. This year’s AGM will be held on Tuesday, November 12.

Foothills County Historical Committee, Monday, October 7, 2024
The University of Calgary made a presentation on its Oral History Project. The University receives substantial funding for 5 years for the history of energy in Foothills County. The team has great ideas including a QR codes you can scan at a specific site where a video will pop up on your phone and give you the history as you view the site.
They wish to partner with Foothills County and want stories, information, contacts of people who have knowledge of the Oil and Gas activity in Foothills. I can think of many who could contribute to this project.
If you have knowledge and/or stories, please contact me.
Remembrance Day
The Remembrance Day service will commence at 10:30 am on Monday, November 11 at the Oilfields High School in Diamond Valley.
