While not nearly the same scale as its 100th birthday bash, Carmangay celebrated its 101st January 21st with a party organized to thank the 75-plus volunteers for their efforts putting on Carmangay's centennial celebration last year.
Organizers of the centennial figure volunteers logged over 1,200 hours organizing and putting on the three-day event. "We just wanted to let them know how much we appreciated all their hard work," said Kym Nichols, Carmangay's mayor.
Many of those volunteers showed up January 21st for beef on a bun and cake. About 100 people in all attended the 101st party, which unveiled the community's new flag of sketches people submitted.
The new flag flies next to the Canadian and Alberta flags just off Highway 23, by the Carmangay sign.
