river valley to raise awareness of the Diamond Willow Trail System in Ponoka.

Other summer events that will be promoted at the Town booth include Canada Day activities on July 1 in Lion’s Centennial Park followed by Town-sponsored fireworks at the Stampede Grounds, and Ponoka Day in the Park on August 24 which will once again feature an outdoor movie, a community BBQ and
