Medicine Hat College is just one week away from its annual homecoming celebration, “Shake, Rattler n’ Roll.” The event is aimed at both alumni and the community, and hopes to bring Hatters of all ages to campus.

The event kicks off on Friday September 16 with an alumni cabaret. Local favourites Mahoney will be performing for MHC alumni, and appetizers and drinks will be served. The free cabaret will take place in the new courtyard outside of Crave as well as inside the campus pub. Anyone who attended classes at MHC is welcome to come and renew friendships with former classmates. Alumni can RSVP to alumni@mhc.ab.ca.

Saturday, September 17 brings the annual Rattlers Hall of Fame breakfast at 9 a.m, featuring the induction of the 1972-73 Kudus women’s basketball team. Community members are asked to come celebrate this historic team with the Rattlers staff and fans. Tickets are $25 in advance or $35 at the door and can be purchased by calling (403) 529-3834. Proceeds will support Rattlers Athletics initiatives.

The action continues Saturday afternoon as the Rattlers soccer teams play host to the Lethbridge Kodiaks in their home openers. The women take the field at 12 p.m. and the men at 2 p.m. Both games are free for the public to attend.

After the soccer games, the excitement will carry over to the return of the free ATB Family Fun Zone at 4 p.m. This year’s fun zone will feature several stations, including the ever popular face painting, clown, Wandering Wally, inflatable obstacle course, bungee run and castles. Also, the Lion’s Club will be selling snacks in the Fun Zone area to keep everyone ready for a day of entertainment. Families will especially enjoy the addition of acapella group Hoja. The popular group has performed across Canada for more than 3,000 audiences, including several shows in Medicine Hat, most recently at Spectrum. Hoja will kick off an afternoon and evening of live music when they take to the Family Fun Zone stage at 4:30 p.m.

Inside the main concert gates, the Kinsmen beer garden will be open at 4 p.m. with food service by Earl’s restaurant and Local Public Eatery. The main stage will start rocking at 5:30 with Mahoney, followed by the Rob Hudec Trio. In a change from previous years, the entire concert area is licensed for alcohol, meaning no line-ups for the beer garden. Concert goers are welcome to bring lawn chairs and/or blankets for seating.

Canadian hit makers Bedouin Soundclash will take the stage at 8:30 p.m., promising an entertaining close to a full day of community activities. The group will perform hit songs such as “Mountain Top” and “When the Night Feels My Song.” With a modern urban sound mixed with reggae fundamentals, the group is sure to bring a great vibe to the outdoor show.

All of Saturday’s activities are free and open to the entire community, with the exception of the ticketed breakfast. For more information, visit www.mhc.ab.ca or call (403) 504-3643.

Gas City Rollers LogoThere’s another roller derby home game coming up June 4th and the Gas City Roller Derby Association needs sponsors!

There are two kinds of sponsorships, and both of them are a great deal:

1) Business Card Sponsors $50
These people receive 2 tickets to the game (worth $20) and get their scanned business card printed (in black and white) in the game program. Business card ads also get a mention by our announcer.

2) Game Day Sponsors $200
These sponsors receive 4 tickets to the game (worth $40!) and a personally built ad by our talented designer, Amy Gervais at Rapscallion Design. These are 1/4 page ads are nice and flashy! The league will also hang up the businesses banners at the next game and Les Louder, our AMAZING announcer, will mention the business mulitiple times throughout the game. This costs $200, but is definitely worth its weight in gold as 700 people are forced to hear your name or business, over and over! Any game day sponsor are guaranteed that no other competing business will be allowed game day sponsor for that game. So first come first serve!”

Needless to say, myself and others would personally appreciate all the help we can get! If you’re interested, please contact me at du57y@hotmail.com or comment below and I will be around to help set you up or answer any questions you may have.
