Tofield Cultural Showcase highlights local talent

The second annual Tofield Cultural Showcase took place over two days last week, starting Friday at the Community Hall with cultural display tables and a silent auction during the Farmers’ Market.

The “Taste of Tofield” supper that evening featured ethnic dishes from restaurants and caterers in Tofield and area. Everyone enjoyed the tasty samples of dishes then sat back for the entertainment, which included dancers from Tracy’s Highland Dance Studio and Ukrainian dance from Niko’s Dance Team.

“What a day this has been,” said Tofield Mayor Harold Conquest.

“We are often reminded that we live in the best province in the best country in the world. But less than 150 years ago it wasn’t even a country. The land was always here, but what made it great was the people who came from all over the world, worked together and made this into the best country in the world.”
