More Moffat at the Market
![](https://www.todayville.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/08/Moffat-at-the-Market-IMG_5950.jpg)
“No matter how you feel, get up, dress up, show up, and never give up.” Dennis Moffat, founder of the Red Deer Farmers’ Market, has been doing that for almost half a century. Every Saturday at 3:00 a.m., Dennis climbs into one of his two pair of farmer overalls, dons his cowboy hat, and is off to make all of the preparations so many of us take for granted. We just show up.
By 8:00 a.m., a great deal of his Saturday’s work is done and he can be found enjoying a Market breakfast. Often, he’s visiting with one of his Farmer’s Market “family”. But then it’s off to give receipts to every vendor, to check on the garbage pails and signage and porta potties and . . .
In this second installment, Dennis talks about the impact the Market has on Red Deer. We also meet several his family members, hear of his varied careers and interests, and are reminded of the varied venues the Market has occupied.

The Red Deer Regional Health Foundation has announced the winners of the 2024 Red Deer Hospital Lottery Dream Home and Tiny Home prize packages, as well as the Mega Bucks 50.
The Mega Bucks 50 jackpot reached $607,200.00, which makes Carolyn Pelerine of Cochrane, Alberta the winner of $303,600.00.
In addition, the luxurious Tree Hugger Tiny Home Prize Package, complete with accessories by Urban Barn and valued at $163,798.00, is now owned by Mary Vincent of Red Deer.
The coveted Sorento Dream Home Prize Package, which includes furnishings and accessories by Urban Barn and boasts a total value of $1,072,624.00, has been awarded to Maxine Rumohr of Sylvan Lake.
The highly anticipated draw took place at 10:00 a.m. Thursday at the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation office, located within the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre, with an announcement following live on Facebook, allowing participants and supporters to join in the excitement virtually.
“We are delighted to congratulate the winners of this year’s Red Deer Hospital Lottery,” said Manon Therriault, Chief Executive Officer of the Red Deer Regional Health Foundation. “The funds raised from this lottery will significantly contribute to enhancing patient care and services at the Red Deer Regional Hospital Centre. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who participated and supported this important cause.”
Proceeds from the Red Deer Hospital Lottery and Mega Bucks 50 will contribute to acquiring critically needed, state-of-the-art equipment for several units at the Red Deer Hospital.
This year’s lottery will fund equipment such as a phototherapy system, which allows parents to hold and soothe their infant while undergoing phototherapy, a cardiology case cart to monitor cardiac rhythms during stress testing, and other equipment to help provide excellent care for patients in the emergency and operating rooms at the Red Deer Hospital.
The winners of a variety of electronics were also drawn today. A full list of winners will be available in the coming days on the official lottery website at reddeerhospitallottery.ca. Prize winners who have not already been notified will receive a letter in the mail with instructions on how to claim their prizes.
The keys to the Sorento Dream Home and the Tree Hugger Tiny Home will be presented to the winners at a special ceremony this summer.
