Hundreds of Central Albertans started their Westerner Days celebrations early with an outdoor barn dance in downtown Red Deer.
Little Gaetz Avenue between Ross and 49 St. was packed Tuesday evening during the sixth annual Peavey Mart Barn Dance – an official Westerner Days offsite event.
Entertainment included Alberta artists: Steve Pointmeier, Alecia Aichelle, Prairie’s Edge Bluegrass Band, dancers from Maskwacis and Alberta Society of Fiddlers.
Adults and children had fun dancing, taking pictures, and participating in carnival type activities.
Westerner Days runs from Wednesday to Sunday in Red Deer.
