Border City [Pick A Side]

Tuesday, July 7th, 2015

We arrived here in Lloydminster at 5am, and even under the shroud of streetlights, I could tell this was no ordinary city… 

 

The median between Alberta and Saskatchewan.
 
 
What makes Lloydminster so unique is its distinction of the only city in canada that borders two provinces, but only has one government and jurisdiction for both.  By the way, the two provinces it straddles are Alberta & Saskatchewan.   

 

Giant red spires marking the barrier between provinces!
 
 Today was a busy day of work, setting up everything for our string of shows.  What makes these shows different then all that we’ve done so far, is that for the first time we are performing outside.  The weather so far has been HOT,  reaching well into the 30s, making keeping the animals cool (and ourselves cool) a challenge.  Luckily we’ve it lots of tarps for shade, and a big reservoir of water to keep everyone hydrated and happy under the summer sun.

Everyone pictching in to pick up pieces of the dropped tool box [while i take photos…]!

I’m excited to get back into the swing of doing shows again tomorrow..!  Hopefully the heat doesn’t deter fair visitors!
