4:30 PM – Dusty Dee Litchfield (Country)
https://www.reverbnation.com/dustydee
Imagine a simpler way of life. You have what you need; nothin’ more, nothin’ less (most years). You’re sitting on the front porch, watching the sun slowly fade into the horizon. There’s a familiar song playin’ on that old AM radio: the one your grandpa gave you for your birthday when you turned 10. Your toe starts tapping along with the beat; almost instinctively. You never told it to, it just did. That song sure does sound familiar, but you just can’t seem to remember the name of it. Then the announcer’s voice comes hissing over the radio speaker “How do you like that folks, that’s the new song by the young cowboy, Dusty Dee!”
Dusty Dee has a familiar, toe tapping sound; it won’t take long before you’re singing along. Songs to dance to. Songs to sing along with. Songs that tell a story. Songs about home. "Dusty Dee has a distinctive voice and a quirky sense of humor ... as well as a knack for telling a good story" - Richard Amery, LABeat.ca. But don’t take our word for it; head on over to www.DustyDee.com and find out for yourself.

Henderson Lake Park is a 47 hectare (117 acre) blend of relaxed leisure
and active recreation opportunities concentrated around a 60 acre
man-made lake. Paved and shale walking trails border Henderson
Lake, along with playgrounds, rest areas and picnic sites.
Concession is open during the summer months.
Henderson Park has been a focus of civic pride for more than 85
years. Originally developed for the 7th International Dry-Farming
Congress in 1912, it continues to be an attraction for special event
celebrations. The lake itself was originally a large slough. William
Henderson, the Mayor of Lethbridge during the early preparations
for the Farming Congress, was instrumental in initiating the
concept of Henderson Lake and a surrounding park.
It is home to the annual Dragon Boat Festival in july as well as Canada Day celebrations.
