Pretty much every spring and fall for the last decade and a half, my parents, and now my Mom, travel down to buy and sell birds. Mom also sells her crafts there too. The sale is every Easter and every Thanksgiving. Almost every year the weather is ABSOLUTELY FREEZING. The waether almost always takes a turn for the worst for that weekend. Barb and I usually us this a a chance to visit. Often we would get a chance to visit Kieth and Carla who also live there. (Innisfail, Alberta, Canada)
