Visit the Haunted Inn and Help The Chestermere Food Bank.

 

Chestermere neighbours Gary Dagg and Gills Mallett (and their families) are hosting a haunted inn in a garage at 113 West creek Blvd.  The NIghtmare Inn will be open on October 10 from 7 to 10 pm and on October 31 from 6 to 10 pm.  It is set up like a maze that will take about 10 minutes to walk through.  It is designed to be scary so the little ones may enjoy the events at the community centre more. 

Last year they had about 400 visitors.  The tour is free but please bring a donation for the Chestermere food bank. 

This is just another great example of the community spirit that makes living in Chestermere so special.

Chestermere To Be Home to Major New Sportsplex!!!

BaseballChestermere Lake has always been a great place for an active family.  With a sportsplex to be built in the near future, Chestermere Athletics just got that much better.  The dome will be 10 storeys high and it will cover 4.9 hectars and house multiple playing fields.  It will be North America's tallest air supported structure.  It will house four baseball diamonds, four soccer pitches, a CFL sized football field, which can be a FIFA soccer pitch, 17 golf driving range stalls, a sports bar, restaurant launge and other amenities to be announced later. 

Chestermere has always been a very active town with families coming here for the recreation opportunities.  This is absolutely a great place to have this facility.  We are only 5 miles from the Calgary city limit, so all of this area will benefit. 

They believe that the Dome will open in the Spring. 

The town of  Chestermere gave Armourdome the land in exchange for a share of the profit.  Good work Town council, this is the boost in the arm that this area needs!

Last year I popped by to see what was going on and I was so sad that I had not volunteered for this event.  The kids were so cute and they were having so much fun.  If you miss the fun of little ones so excited for Halloween this is your chance to catch the magic again.
