December 2023 MH Cowboy Life

Save the date for festivities at the Medicine Hat Public Library on January 29. In the morning, you can view the much-anticipated Bud Van Cleave video, first in our new “Hats Off” series and partake in some western entertainment. Then in the afternoon, (1:30) is our Annual General Meeting (open to members and non-members), complete with the celebrated steerhead spudnuts. (Rumour has it there’s a spudnut assembly line at Jen Zollner’s that week!)

We hope you get to spend some time with friends and family this holiday season. More than ever, we need each other. Thanks for being part of our family.

Merry Christmas!
