Longview is about to be taken over with runners! June 25th will be the 25th Annual K-100 Road Race. This year over 200 people will participate in the event which will commence in Longview at 6am heading west to Highway 541, then through the Highwood Pass. We wish everyone a successful run and a safe journey.
Speaking of runners… a few people have been running around doing A LOT of work on the planters you'll see throughout the Village! To Doreen, Ken and Rhoda: “THANK YOU” so much for all your hard work in the garden at the south end of town as well as all the planters through the Village. The PINK will be very visible in all parts of the Village for our “Paint the Town Pink” visit on August 18th.
Routes Magazine has had some great articles in the past few months, the first featuring our very own Travelling Mabels. From all of us in Longview we congratulate Eva, Lana & Suzanne on their second CD release and at the time of writing, they are in the process of a CBC fundraiser for the Slave Lake Fire Victims. Eva and the girls are always first in line when it comes to giving back to communities and we are so proud to have them as representatives of our wonderful Village.
Another well known local “hobbiest” has also been featured in Routes Magazine. Matts Zoumer tells a little about his life and his love of hobbies. You can often find Matts somewhere on a ladder painting a mural in or around the Village of Longview, Okotoks, Calgary, etc. A stop in at the Longview Hotel will provide a glimpse at some of our local residents and patrons at the saloon! Ceiling panels have been revamped with caricatures who often bring smiles to all who visit. Hopefully one day Matts will lead our Little New York Daze parade with his bagpipe!!!
Have a great one.
Chey
