The Psychic - C.A.T. Dinner Theatre →
This looks like a pretty good time!
“The Psychic follows the chaotic life of Adam Webster, a befuddled, down-on-his-luck writer, who has put a sign in his apartment window, in desperation to make the rent: “Psychic Readings $25.00”. The sign soon draws the interest of the lovely and conflected Laura, her shady husband Roy, Roy’s mistress Rita, a gangster named Johnny Bubbles and ace...

The Road to Red Deer →
She came close last year, but this year Heather Nedohin was not to be denied. By claiming the Alberta Scotties women’s curling championship with a convincing 8-5 final game victory over Jessie Kaufman on Sunday, January 29 in Leduc, Nedohin and her Edmonton Saville Sports Centre team of Beth Iskiw, Jessica Mair and Laine Peters instantly became home-province fan favourites for the...

The food was AMAZING! I am not even kidding. There are boxes of peanuts to munch on while you are waiting. I have eaten a lot of food in my time, especially burgers and I can honestly say this was by far the best...

Calling all Shredders and Powder Hounds…
It’s your first run of the day. You stand at the top of the Snow Bowl looking down the big bank sides to the deep valley below. You are surrounded by fresh sparkling powder and lots and lots of trees. It feels like the mountains, except that you are smack dab in the middle of the prairies, only 8 minutes from Red Deer at Alberta’s largest non-mountain resort, Canyon Ski Resort. Later you’ll meet...

Places It’s Okay to Wear Your Santa Hat
Tobogganing - Here is a time when your Santa hat will be both festive and practical. So grab your toboggan, crazy carpet or Griswold-style super-slippy saucer and hang onto your hat. The Bower Ponds toboggan hill in Red Deer’s Waskasoo Park is a local favourite and it has smaller hills that are not too steep for the littlest ones. Or there’s the Woodlea toboggan area at 55 Street and 42A Ave...

3 Reasons to Love Our Museum This Season
We love our Red Deer Museum and Art Gallery, or the MAG if you’re in the know. It’s always affordable, it tells local stories and it’s a great place to hang out (sometimes even rock out). Here are three reasons you should love it this December and January too.
1) Hot docs for cool kids - Reel Movie Mondays is Red Deer’s home for independent films. Sponsored by the museum and held at the Galaxy...
