Fairview presents free concert featuring Randi Boulton
Fairview Elementary School and a local singer/songwriter are hosting a free community concert this month, and families are invited to take in the fun.
Fairview is proud to host a concert at the school grounds (5901 55 St., Red Deer) on September 17 from 1-3 p.m. featuring music by local singer/songwriter Randi Boulton.
“Collaborating with our friends at the Riverside Meadow Community Association, we are thrilled to bring you this free opportunity to be entertained, build relationships and showcase our community as a place of belonging,” said Teresa Tataryn, Principal at Fairview Elementary School.
According to Randi’s bio, “The Incredible Randi Boulton, as Canadian rock icon Tom Cochrane calls her, is a powerhouse singer, one whose voice seriously parallels those of her musical motivators: Melissa Etheridge, Janis Joplin, Bonnie Raitt, Jewel, as well as fellow Canadians Jann Arden, Serena Ryder, and Sarah McLachlan, and often finds herself compared to Adele.”
The concert is open to all ages and families are encouraged to bring a lawn chair and attend.
“As the school year begins, our goal is to ensure a sense of belonging,” said Teresa. “With International Welcome In Week falling at the same time, we are encouraging our community to get to know one another and build relationships. It is the coming together of the community that fosters school success!”

Palate: A Taste of Local is an elegant tasting event that builds on the well-established reputation of the Fine Wine and Food Tasting Festival. We’ve combined the elegant experience you have enjoyed in the past with new elements we know you are going to love. This redesigned special event recently received national recognition, earning a silver medal in the annual Canadian Council for the Advancement of Education Prix d’Excellence!
Your ticket is all-inclusive, providing access to all of the items available from every vendor attending the Palate. There are no extra costs – the only thing you have to worry about, is how you will be able to sample everything.
Begin your evening with a champagne toast as you enter the event space. Palate vendors will offer a variety of food items, including sweet, savoury and international dishes, as well as small batch spirits, craft beer and soda, hand-crafted cocktails and mocktails, and other beverages.
Guests will immerse themselves in central Alberta’s local food and beverage culture, meeting the makers, owners and mixologists that bring these flavours to life while networking with other alumni and guests.
