The Times reports a big Cornfest in Tabor featuring corn stuffing and tasting plus new Insane FMX from Abbotsford, B C. Two riders wowed crowds with high flying stunts across three shows, while volunteers organized games, booths, and park entertains for all ages amid minor complaints about midway variety and fireworks visibility.
Readers lament Taber’s lack of representation and float at the Lethbridge parade and call for better local advertising in community listings like the Lethbridge area phone book. They question if community ads are free and urge Taber to advertise its Cornfest.
Editor notes the Cornfest began as Hootenanny Days in 1976 with Ed Olheiser. Allan Alderdice joined in 1977, then the chamber of commerce took over the event. The piece urges proper credit for the founders and mentions the fireworks as outstanding.
Readers are urged to write concise letters of 150 to 250 words focusing on timely issues. Present a rational argument with facts and figures, avoid ranting, and stay topical. Expect editorial tightening while preserving the writer’s viewpoint for clarity and readability.
The Taber municipal police commission will hold a 4:30 pm meeting in town council chambers with a public hearing on photo radar. A shared use proposal with the Medicine Hat Police Service is under consideration. Cornfest chair Jean Bullock praises the weekend event as smoothly run. A zoning change seeks to streamline the regional landfill licensing process by re zoning the site southwest of Taber to direct control. Taber town council passed new dog bylaw readings expanding restricted breeds and setting a 120 dollar annual licence.
Residents facing the closure of the Purple Springs post office meet with Medicine Hat MP Bob Porter to press for restoration after the office shut on July 31. Local officials also report rising counterfeit Taber corn, and a separate school bus driver walkout disrupts Taber Division 30 years ago.
