The Market at Red Deer opens for 49th year
Opening day for the 49th year of The Market at Red Deer was a fruitful one, judging by the lack of available nearby parking.
This year, the market is back at its long-time downtown for the first time since 2015. It spent the last three years at the Memorial Centre while the Red Deer Arena was torn down and replaced with the Servus Arena.
“It’s glorious to be back. Everybody’s happy,” says Manager Dennis Moffat. “We’ve had a few glitches which we’ll iron out. Every time we do something new, we’ve got learn something new. It takes an old bugger to learn new things in a slow way.”
