Jock Mackenzie at the Farmers Market – Profiles a popular local food truck and a local artisan.
WHAT I KNOW ABOUT THAT WOULD FILL A THIMBLE . . .
Someone in my youth used to say, “What I know about that would fill a thimble and leave room for a bag lunch.” The essence of that statement is applicable to much of my life. Maybe it’s because I don’t get out much, or maybe it’s because I don’t ask enough questions. This week I learned about tiny bites and bars.
My trips to Red Deer’s Farmers’ Market have been quite educational because I’ve started asking questions. I started at the Lil’ Orbits Mini-Donut food truck. I’d never had one–ever. Sixty-nine years without a mini-donut. Too soon old, too late smart! Owner/operator Shea Volk filled me in and then I tasted these couldn’t-be-fresher little miracles. Wow!
My second stop was at Sarah Jane’s Sensibles. I’m a New Age kind of guy so her display of homemade soaps caught my attention. The display is eye-catching! A fellow market-goer stopped at the booth/tent just before me and expressed the thought that the samples were so colourful and decorative she thought they might be candy. Well, I’ve had soap in my mouth before and it’s not a fond memory. But I bought the coffee-scented bar and am test driving it now.
Please check out the video.
Next week, I’d like to chat with the Cinnamon Bun folks and possibly some jewellery makers. Goodies and glitter.

Rain, Rain go away!
As much as we don’t want to think about what’s next after this rainy summer, reality will eventually set in and ‘old man you know what’ will be here. In an effort to get ahead of it, make sure that your 2nd largest purchase in your life is protected in the areas that you cannot access to take care of!
Protection makes sense.
Make sure that your undercarriage is protected from the harsh elements on the road such as salts, ice, snow, rocks and dirt. What can be done?
- We put your vehicle up on a hoist and spray the undercarriage of the vehicle with undercoat. This not only protects it from these elements and ensures that your undercarriage doesn’t rust, but also acts as sound dampening from road noise.
- Another option that we offer is to apply a rust inhibitor in between the panels of your vehicle. We spray the rust inhibitor in your doors, quarter panels, trunk and hood. Moisture gets in between these panels from rain or when we wash our vehicles. This seals off the inside of the panel to make sure that the moisture doesn’t come in contact with the sheet metal. The benefit of this is that you won’t get rust on the common areas of your vehicle such as around your wheel wells, corners of the doors, and on the seams of the hood.
Protecting your vehicle with these products accomplishes two things:
- Keep your vehicle looking newer while you own it.
- Help to create resale value when you choose to trade it in or sell it.
They are the most common products that we apply to vehicles and for good reason. Albertans know how harsh our winters are, and how long we seem to have rocks/gravel/sand on our roads. Protecting your investment just only makes sense!
Please visit our Finance office for pricing information or with any questions that you may have regarding these products.

“It has been thrilling to watch Erin Boake mature as an artist,” says Lorna Johnson, Executive Director. “She has mastered her drawing and painting skills and she continues to challenge herself with creative new projects. Hot Mess shows that even the most mundane of household tasks can be fuel for a creative mind and a source of beauty. We are very pleased to present Erin’s work at the MAG.”
Erin Boake was born and raised in Red Deer, where she completed her first two years of visual arts at Red Deer College, before transferring to Alberta College of Art & Design. She graduated with a degree in Painting in 2003. Erin spent many years traveling and living in various communities around Canada and abroad. Between 2008 and 2013, Erin had the opportunity to live and work in Iqaluit, Nunavut, teaching drawing and design at the Nunavut Arctic College. Erin has been teaching art for 17 years, and in the last year, has taken over the role of owner and operator of Artribute Art School, alongside her own studio practice. Erin currently lives in Red Deer with her husband and two small girls, and spends her time doing laundry when she’s not painting it.
