The weekend was full of fun in the Foothills.

The Spirit of Okotoks Parade and Children's Festival swept the town on Saturday. The parade's theme this year was Canada 150 and entries were encouraged to get patriotic in celebration of the country's 150th birthday.

The Children's Festival had a variety of entertainment for families including live music, crafts, and face painting.

On Sunday, the Bar U Ranch National Historic Site hosted the Chuckwagon Cook-Off and pack horse races. Guests got to sample food, listen to cowboy poetry, enjoy a performance from the Millarville Musical Ride, and much more.
