It has begun! Today has been both draining and energizing. Tomorrow is Airdrie's 100th birthday and the celebrations begin. Today has been full of last minute preparations, panicked phone calls, and a general flurry of activity. My desk is pure chaos and I have post-its on top of post-its:



The parks department was out in droves to make sure everything at Nose Creek is looking pretty and stocked full of picnic tables:







Great Events tent rentals, as well as many local businesses such as ATCO, Century 21, and Re-max were out setting up their donated tents as well:







Of course, there were many staff and volunteers there this morning coordinating all this as well as hauling things around. I think I moved about 1000L of water from a struck into a storage area. I'm positively pooped, but I have lots to do, including volunteer orientation tonight.

Tomorrow's the big birthday party with fireworks and art unveiling!
