Grain elevators have played a significant role in the agricultural history of Alberta, Canada since the early 20th century. These tall, cylindrical or square structures were used to store and transport wheat, barley, and other grains from farms to urban markets across the country. However, with the rise of modern transportation and storage technologies, many of these elevators have become obsolete and abandoned. Nevertheless, they remain a significant part of the landscape and history in rural Alberta. Despite the fact that many of these grain elevators are no longer in use, they continue to hold important symbolic and cultural significance for the local communities in which they are located. Many people see these structures as a reminder of a simpler time when agriculture was the backbone of the economy and people's daily lives were much different than they are today. Additionally, grain elevators are a common subject in Canadian art and literature, with many artists and writers u...

These markets have already passed but watching the video may give you some ideas of what you could get for your loved ones, or even yourself. Let's talk about the joys of a smaller town local Market, it of course is way different than going to a large shopping mall. People are much more friendly I find and the majority of them are willing to tell you all about what they have on display. To add to that, the products that you can buy there, at least the ones you can eat, tend to be very tasty.  I would say, even if you are not interested in purchasing anything major you should get out and take a look around, you never know what you find or what friendships you may form. KassDays hopes to see you out there somewhere in the future. BTW I think the Saskatoon Farm is having their Holiday Market this coming December 1st to 3rd, hope to see you there.

The person that is writing this article is a female, in case you are wondering, I am the same person that wanted all of those wonderful blingy rings. When you don't want to spend, or can't afford to spend, a lot of money but still need to satisfy that shopping urge, you may need to consider purchasing great looking items at a lower price.  Of course if you are going for economical it is likely that jewellery is not real gold but hey, it soothes the wandering gypsy inside of me, makes me want to dress up and wander about aimlessly. Is that a good thing? Well maybe, if I'm wandering about in nature with a camera in hand, I'm hoping it is all good. Watch the video, leave a comment on the video in YouTube and let us know what item you liked most out of the video.

When we created this video it was the end of the summer growing season and we managed to get enough Red Currants off of our bushes to make a nice batch of Red Currant Jam, Of course there is someone in this household that absolutely loves his red currant jam so we can't bypass making the jam if we have enough of our own berries. I'm not a fan of seedy jam, and currants have a lot of seeds so we made our own kind of system to remove the majority of the seeds and it turned out quite nice I would have to say.  Being a person that does not mind creating, whether it be great food or works of fine art, I love creating so this is not a big deal to me. Straying way off topic now, I have to say that I must make way more time to work with my fine arts materials, I need to create, that brings me happiness.
