You may have heard that Okotoks has been nominated for Kraft Hockeyville 2016!

This means that we have the possibility of winning $100,000 to be used towards arena upgrades and the honour of hosting a NHL preseason game in our community.

You can help achieve this by sharing your hockey pictures on Facebook and Twitter using the hashtag #KHV_PasonCentArena.

More information can be found on page 35 and the Okotoks Hockeyville 2016 Facebook page.

Even if its cold outside we can go for a walk on the walking track at the Pason Centennial Arena throughout the day from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Anyone who goes for a walk at the Pason Centennial Arena walking track on Winter Walk Day will be able to enter the draw for some great prizes.

A man walks into a bar one day and asks, “Does anyone here own that huge mutt outside?”

“Yeah, I do!” a large man says, standing up. “What about it?”

“Well, I think my Chihuahua just killed him...”

“What are you talkin’ about?!” the large man says, disbelievingly. “How could your little runt kill my brute?”

“Well, it seems he got stuck in your dog’s throat!”
