We went down to Edmonton and Red Deer over the weekend. We drove to Edmonton Wednesday night after the Farmers Market workshop and Thursday morning we went to Tandy's.
If you have never been it's an experience. Ray wants to get in to leather crafting so this was definitely the place to go. It's like a small warehouse and you can easily get overwhelmed in there but they were so helpful. I had a list of items Ray wanted from their web-site and one of the guys took my list and found everything for us. This gave us time to wander around and look at everything. They have a pretty good collection of books and a lot of different leather hides.
We left with a nice big order that included their deluxe starting kit and some free leather samples for Ray to practice on. After Tandy's we headed to Cabela's. Easily one of my favorite stores in Edmonton.
We headed to Red Deer in the afternoon and met some friends for supper and a Jeff Dunham show that night. So much better live than the videos and he had some new stuff too. We had a blast!
Friday and Saturday was full of appointments with lawyers, accountants and life insurance agent. But we still made time for some fun stuff and, of course, visited Wolverine. There we picked up a Ranchman's rifle for $70 less than GP.
Our big purchase this trip was our new dumping trailer. We had found it over Kijiji and the timing was perfect to pick it up when we had to be in Red Deer anyway. Our beautiful new trailer is in pics below.
On Saturday we headed home after another stop at Cabela's when we got a competitive shooting target, some rubber boots and a camo jack for me and more ammo for Ray.
A fun weekend and now there is lots of work to do!
