Today is Thursday,
July 12, 2012 and we had a very busy and informative day. We met the bus at 8:25 a.m. and headed for an
adventure to the Remington Carriage Center and the Head Smashed in Buffalo Jump
Interpretive Center.

As we entered the
Remington Carriage Center we were a divided into two groups and each had a tour
guide. The center was opened in 1993 and
houses 280 carriages. The tour guides
were very knowledgeable and friendly. In our free time we visited the restoration
area of the center. We also were treated
to a carriage ride around the grounds.

Then it was off to the "Head Smashed in Buffalo
Jump" Center where our guide, a Blackfoot Indian, Edwin Small Legs took us
on a guided tour explaining the history.

We returned to camp for a brief period and then walked a
short distance to the "Great Canadian Barn Dance" barn for a welcome
to Canada dinner and live show.
The food
was excellent and the live entertainment was fabulous.

We were entertained by the multi-generation family band of the Kunkel Family as they presented a collection of musical favorites inspired by Western legends.
