Smith's First Annual Christmas Tree Light-Up
The Christmas Tree Light up was held December 4th. Thanks to all who made this event possible. There were about 65 people who enjoyed hot chocolate, hot dogs, a warm fire, Christmas music and conversation. Santa even had time to greet the young and old and to hand out treats!

2014 Centennial
2014 marks Smith's Centennial. Even though trading posts have been located at the old Mirror Landing townsite where the Lesser Slave River joins the Athabasca River, the winter of 1913-1914 marks the year that the railway bridge crossed the Athabasca and the town of Smith was born.
Celebrations are being planned.
The Smith Centennial Geo-caching Tour will open in Mid May. The tour will focus on the area's historical sites. Join us in this treasure hunt to explore the natural areas surrounding Smith and enjoy tales of times gone by. This outdoor activity is good for all ages and will have geo-caches placed in areas that you can drive, walk or quad too. It will be available in the winter as well. We are preparing for a launch date on May 15, 2014 with a second launch date of August 1, 2014. The tour has been added to the Geocaching website.
The Centennial Celebrations are tentatively planned for the Fall Fair weekend (September long weekend) so be sure to plan on coming this year. You may also want to stay a few extra days to take part in the activities and displays. We will keep you posted as we firm up ideas.

Family Day February 17, 2014
Close to 100 adults and children enjoyed the afternoon at the AgriPlex skating and sliding. Little ones found that the snow hills made for great sliding down just with their ski pants while others went around the complex and enjoyed the bigger hill. Many of the adults caught up on the news while sitting at the picnic tables. Almost everyone enjoyed a roasted marshmallow or made s'mores and sipped on hot chocolate or coffee. When it came time to warm up the group moved down to Becky's Cookhouse for delicious pizza. Thank you to SHARA for donating food and drinks and Debbie in particular for organizing the event.
