August Weekend Tour - Olds Area

Saturday, August 16 with an optional Sunday August 17

Come spend one day or two touring the Central Alberta area around Olds.  The August tour weekend is fast approaching and the tour committee has some information/updates to share.

It has been decided to change the two day tour by Olds to a one day tour on Saturday, August 16. However, if you have already booked accommodations or wish to make it a two day event don’t fret, there will be an optional day two for anyone interested. Information provided below.

Keep an eye on this Activities page of the club website. If there ends up having to be a cancellation or postponement due to weather we will post it here right away. So far the forecast doesn’t look too bad. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that it says that way or gets even better!

If you plan on attending, if possible, please let Karee know so that we have a rough idea on numbers of cars/people. Contact information: email: kcm@airenet.com or call home: 403-335-1950 or cell: 403-438-0425. This is the contact information if you require directions also.

Thank you and hope to see you soon!

Markerville Creamery Museum

Built in 1902 by the newly formed Tindastoll Butter & Cheese Manufacturing Association, the Markerville Creamery operated continuously until 1972. During the 70 years of operation, the Creamery won many buttermaking quality awards and was recognized as a major production contender around the world. Upon closure in 1972, the building was abandoned and left to deteriorate.

In 1986, the dilapidated building was fully restored by the Stephan G. Stephansson Icelandic Society as a museum depicting the commercial butter making industry set in 1932. The Creamery’s ice storage area was transformed into a coffee shop & named Kaffistofa (Icelandic for coffee store) which serves our community and visitors with Icelandic delights along with a regular lunch menu & ice cream.

Here we will stop at the Coyote Grill in the Cremona Hotel for lunch and then make our way back to the Didsbury Agricultural Grounds for the afternoon to watch some of the Clifford Scott Antique Tractor Pull.
