Kids playing outside with colourful parachute game

Boredom busters back for boundless fun!

Boredom doesn’t stand a chance with Pincher Creek kids this summer as the town’s recreation department rolls out its annual Boredom Busters summer camps.

For children aged five to 12, the camps feature a wide variety of crafts, games, field trips and other activities.

Each week comes with a different theme to keep things fun and fresh. This summer’s featured themes include Canadian week, music week, circus week and more.

“We will be doing crafts that fit the weekly theme, swimming each day, local field trips to the fire station, vet clinic and bowling alley, walking to parks in the community, and playing other fun children’s games,” says Olivia Olivieri, the town’s summer programming co-ordinator.

“My hope is that the kids not only have fun, but also learn from the camps as well.”

Olivia also hopes that parents will feel comfortable sending their children, knowing they will be provided with a fun environment over the summer.

Registration for Boredom Busters closes on Thursday afternoons prior to each week of camps, so parents need to plan ahead.

To register, you can pick up a form at the recreation office, send an email or register online .

Each day costs $35 for one child. If you are registering additional children, the cost is $30 per extra child.

For more information, contact Olivia by email at summergames@pinchercreek.ca or by phone at 403-627-4322.

Kiss tribute band ready to rock ’n’ roll all night at the Empress

Hailing from Western Canada, Ikons is one of most sought-after tribute bands on the circuit. Ikons delivers a high-energy show, complete with the classic Kiss tunes we all know, and an authentic concert experience guaranteed to satisfy even the most diehard Kiss fans. 

Ikons covers songs from Kiss’s musical career beginning in the 1970s, with chart-toppers including “Rock and Roll All Nite,” “I Was Made for Lovin’ You” and “Beth.”  

Kiss is known for its members’ face paint and stage outfits and its pyrotechnics. The band members took on personas in the style of comic book characters: the Starchild, the Demon, the Spaceman or Space Ace, and the Catman (Criss).

You just might think it’s the real deal once you see Ikons’ authentic looks, moves and music. 

Tickets to Ikons: the Kiss Experience are $37.50 each and available online at MacleodEmpress.com, by calling 1-800-540-9229, or at the box office on Main Street in Fort Macleod.
