Wild Rose Co-op Impact Follow Up
What need has your organization addressed in the community due to Wild Rose Co-operative Association Ltd. support?
The Flagstaff Scottish Club hosted its third "Gathering of the Clans Highland Festival" on August 21st, 2021. This is a cultural event pertaining to all things Scottish. There were three Bagpipe bands, Highland dancers, athletes demonstrating the heavy events, local artisans, Highland cows, a petting zoo, gifted performers, live owl demonstration and numerous other activates for the entire family including a pig roast and ceilidh. The event was held at the Wild Rose Recreation Center in Sedgewick Alberta. The Wild Rose Coop has been a huge supporter of this popular festival since its inception. Their donation made this event rise to the high standers it has become. Guests from all around our province were aware of the community support provided by Wild Rose. The Coop assisted in ever aspect of this day. They supplied water to volunteers, equipment to the infrastructure, gifts to the dignitaries, food for the supper and mix for drinks. Without the Wild Rose Coop, this event may not occur. We want to thank the Wild Rose Coop for their gracious and generous support of our event. It brings cultural awareness to the area.
