Fred and Velvet Entwisle have just come home from a week’s trip to Vegas. They joined son Tom and Angela Bigney for the first few days. Tom and Angela enjoyed an early Christmas present with tickets to David Copperfield. Fred and Velvet were kept busy with shows and sightseeing. Among their favorites were the Blue Man Group show that preformed at the Monte Carlo; they took pictures atop the Polo Towers; enjoyed the Bellagio Fountain show at night as well as the lights on the strip; attended the Siegfried and Roy Secret Garden and Dolphin Exhibit (the tigers and lions were Velvet’s absolute favorites!); saw the Cirque du Soleil show named KA, the Venetian Volcano show and... their really, really favorite (and a surprise to them)... it was the NASCAR Sprint Champions Week. Velvet (and Fred) stood in line for three hours to get up close and personal to watch the top sixteen NASCAR drivers do burn outs on the Las Vegas Strip, took pictures and was thrilled to be there.
They arrived home early Sunday morning after driving through the freezing rain from Calgary to near Stettler.
Percy and Paulette Heer attended the banquet and Freedom Singers concert at the Stettler Community Hall on Saturday night as guests of Jeanne Beisel. The hall was filled to capacity. The food was wonderful but it was the music and testimony presented by Simon and the Freedom Singers that was breathtaking. Anyone who missed out will have a chance to see them next August in Three Hills.
