Walking history tour was wonderful

Having recently enjoyed a walking history tour of downtown Red Deer, hosted by longtime archivist and now historian, Michael Dawe and genial Rod Trentham of MAG, I wish to express my appreciation.

For over two hours, Michael again demonstrated his truly amazing grasp of people, places and periods in Red Deer’s past and of which he so cheerfully recounts. Thanks a bunch Michael and Rod.

The happy tour ended so tastily in the Thai Garden Restaurant. As a 45-year-resident of Red Deer, I still find it a premium place in which to dwell.
