As Canadians, we celebrate the kaleidoscope of cultures represented in our community. Through Stettler Culture Days we offer fantastic activities with our community partners all over town during the month of September. Check out the art exhibit, Party On! displayed at the library this month. Lively pieces by 14 different Alberta artists each depict a single moment of shared revelry and inter-connectedness, whether scenes of musical performance, dancing, carnivals or special occasion, food and drink.

And there’s more! Food, traditions, music and art are all part of the Culture Days line-up so be sure to check out www.stettlerculturedays.com.

And don’t forget Read and Rhyme — stories, songs, and activities for children aged 0-5 and their parents. Meet new friends and have fun as you build pre-literacy skills on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Friday mornings in the library at 10:30 a.m.
