Quite often members of the Chestermere Historical Foundation get questions about local history. Sometimes we answer off the tops of our heads, but most often, we refer to ‘Chestermere A Home for All Seasons.’ Try your luck at these questions, and next week, look for the answers in The Anchor.
If you are stumped, buy a copy of the history book! Call me 403 272 3764, or Audrey 403 272 9280– $48 including GST. For super ‘historians’, the first two people sending all 10 answers correctly to the Contact Us link at www.chestermerehistory.org by midnight March 24th will receive a free burger and drink at the Chestermere Historical Foundation M&M BBQ fundraiser for the CCOA 1952 firetruck restoration on Saturday June 6th 10am to 3pm. (Chestermere Historical Foundation Board of Directors not eligible). Winner will be announced in The Anchor and on the webpage. Good luck!
