Cool Choir Calgary hits iTunes!
‘(Canada) I Feel Home’ is an original song written by Cool Choir Creative Director, Jamie Serafi, and local Calgary poet, Richard Harrison, and has just been released on iTunes! The song was written for and has been performed by Cool Choir based out of Calgary, and the incredible music video was produced by Cody Michael Southgate and Ken Stead.
Cool Choir is a concept direct from the UK, and is Calgary’s first, all-inclusive, non-auditioned adult rock and pop choir experience. Over 300 amateur, diverse singers rock their heart out each week, with various live performances year-round in the Calgary area!
If you are proud to call Canada home, help us celebrate its diversity by watching and sharing Cool Choir’s original song for Canada150, and let’s see how many Canadians we can reach!

NOWCO HOME HARDWARE’S 2NDANNUAL CHAIRS FOR CHARITY
Nowco Home Hardware has organized Chairs for Charity for the 2ndyear and it will run from July 19-31. The project started last year as a collaboration of downtown businesses to decorate downtown during Lacombe Days and raise money for a local charity. In 2018, forty five downtown businesses each bought and painted a chair to raffle off. The chairs were left on display during the 4 days of Lacombe Days and over $3100 was raised for the lunch program at J.S. McCormick School.
This year Deanna Nowochin, who has spearheaded the event wanted things to be bigger and better, so all Lacombe businesses were invited to participate in the event. This year there will be 75 chairs on display around Lacombe from July 19-31. The event was extended this year to ensure there was ample time for people to hear about Chairs for Charity and purchase tickets. The charities benefitting from 2019’s project are Lacombe Minor Football and the breakfast program at Terrace Ridge School.
This year we have 2000 tickets available, with a fundraising goal of $10,000. Raffle tickets will be sold for $5 each and can be purchased at any participating business. You can see a full list of participating businesses and photos of their chairs at www.chairsforcharitylacombe.comor by searching “Chairs for Charity Lacombe” on Facebook.
