By The HUNDREDS!

100, 100, 100, tons of 100's being celebrated in Drumheller this year, yes we knew we were old, the dinos gave it away...but for The Canadian Badlands Passion Play it is our 100th performance on July 15 (opening day we might add). Oh how far we've come from practicing in a church to a large outdoor amphitheatre, brought to life realistic set and costumes, quality performances and remarkable similarity of the site to the Holy Land. A celebration is set for that day to commemorate

But Drumheller has even more 100's up their sleeve, The Drumheller Mail celebrates 100 year of print, enticindg readers with old articles and memories dating back to early 1900's. Munson, a small village where The Drumheller Mail first published as the Munson Mail, celebrates their 100th anniversary with a week long celebration.

But without coal, we wouldn't be in this amazing valley to begin with. It was the discovery of coal in Drumheller that led many families to flock to our area and build a life. The Atlas Coal Mine in East Coulee, keeps coal alive and we are proud to celebrate 100 year Mining Centennial of the Valley, and thankful Linda Digby has revived the importance of our past. Here is a link to the celbration site, but we reccomend you check out the Atlas Coal Mine as well.
