Music festival

one step closer


SHARON MCLEAY
Times Contributor

Members of Strathmore’s music scene


met to discuss whether they would put on
Fantastic Festival a Strathmore music festival in the spring
of 2019.
“I think it will help weigh the calibre
of music in the community and be good
Page 8 for economic development,” said Carolyn
Steeves, local music teacher and newly
directed President of the Strathmore Per-
forming Arts Festival (SPAF).
Discussion took place around the need
and want for a music festival and who
might respond. There was support for
students of all ages to participate in the
festival when it is set up. Participants also
said it would encourage youth to develop
Seniors’ Week musically, by giving a venue where they
could test their skills and get positive cri-
tique.
Also mentioned were the opportunities
to meet new friends and musical connec-
tions.
“Music is a very solidarity thing, and this
is bringing them together to show and
shine,” said one participant.
The closest current music festivals are

atmosphere by offering positive piano, vo-

Obituary
MCMEEKIN, Don
May 18, 1927 – June 8, 2018
On Friday June 8, 2018, Mr. Don Mc-
Meekin of Rockyford, Alberta passed
away in the Strathmore hospital at the
age of 91 years following a lengthy illness. Don was
predeceased by his mother, Violet; father, Gordon;
brothers, Al, Stan and Grant; and sister, Violet. He is
survived by his partner of 30 years, Roberta; as well
as family members, Dianne, Crystal and Mark. He is
also survived by his sister, Irene in Toronto and many
nieces and nephews in Toronto and Calgary. Don will
be sadly missed by his family and friends, especially
his good friends Elaine and Keith. A special thanks
to Dr. Fanning and staff at the Strathmore Hospital.
A cremation has taken place and no formal services
will be held.
“Till we meet again Don”
