Saying goodbye is never easy, but as the time nears to say farewell to the Buffalo Hotel and Club Café in Red Deer’s downtown, City officials say Red Deer Archives, with the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery would like to collect as many memories from these sites as they can.
“The Buffalo Hotel and Club Café both played a significant role in our community’s history, and we will ensure to preserve that history so future generations know about their role in our community,” said Mayor Ken Johnston. “I hope residents take the opportunity to say goodbye to these iconic spaces and preserve their memories.”
City officials say Red Deer Archives staff have pulled together the photographs and records already in collections and the Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery staff are currently collecting artefacts from the buildings. Now, they want residents, past and present, to share personal stories, experiences, photos and video.
“We invite everyone to share their individual stories and creative works inspired by both sites,” said Red Deer Museum + Art Gallery Director of Operations, Chandra Kastern. “Did you stay at the hotel? Do you have memories of meals from the Club Café? Help us capture these memorable experiences and become part of central Alberta’s enduring story.”
