The CKUA Radio Network was founded in 1927 in Edmonton, Alberta. CKUA is Canada’s first educational broadcaster and Canada’s first public broadcaster. Since its inception, CKUA has grown from a one room, low wattage radio station staffed by exceptionally dedicated amateur radio enthusiasts, into a full fledged radio and Internet broadcast network staffed by world class broadcast and business professionals. Today, everyone in Hat Creek listens to CKUA Radio live on the net.
The 2nd Annual Hat Creek Pumpkin Festival will take place October 26-29 at the Hat Creek Community Hall in Hat Creek, Alberta. Again this year there will be 3 full days of activities for the whole family at this old time Pumpkin Festival on the Northern Range. There is always great music and lots of Cowboy Cuisine.
Like most prairie towns in Alberta, it’s angle parking in Hat Creek and it’s free. There are a couple of parking meters in town but nobody puts any money in them any more. And, nobody minds. Besides, there is plenty of free parking just off 50th Street in front of Hat Creek’s only restaurant, the Golden Lotus Cafe. There is even more free parking across the street from the Community Hall. Hat Creek is also the home of the Cowboy Campfire Festival held in July every year since 1997.
The Ohana Loke Lane Hula Band takes a low key approach to their music. “We’re not a working trio and we don’t aspire to be full time singers. We don’t even want to be famous. We perform and sing because we love the music.” The whole thing started a few years ago at the Halakahiki Paniolo Pineapple Party & Luau with our friend Adam Ainsworth. We have just continued to play since then. Ohana Loke Lane Hula Band has always kept a low key profile ever since their first appearance and has only played with a few other Hula Bands before. Ohana Loke Lane Hula Band likes to sing and they like to dance wherever they go.
Adam Ainsworth is pleased to announce that as part of the 10th Annual Hat Creek Cowboy Festival in July, Hat Creek will also celebrate the First Hula Festival. Appearing at the Hula Festival this year will be Alika Pukoluo. This year’s Hat Creek Cowboy Campfire & Hula Festival is sponsored in part by the Silkroad Arts Foundation and will be held July 27-28, 2007 at the Hat Creek Community Hall in Hat Creek, Alberta.
The Annual Hat Creek Cowboy Festival in July promises to be the best ever with the almost famous Hat Creek Cowboy Orchestra playing on the main stage July 25-27 at the Hat Creek Community Hall in Hat Creek, Alberta. This year the festival will be 3 full days of activities for the whole family at this old time cowboy campfire festival with great cowboy music.
Welcome to the Golden Lotus Cafe
You can find cowboy cuisine with a world flavour at the Golden Lotus Cafe. Meat and potatoes and beans are fine fare, it’s true. There’s no disputing that fact. But in the world of cowboys, there are arguable other foods worth sticking your fork into. They say that “cowboys don’t each quiche”. However, that leaves room for a host of other tradtional western cuisine to be served up with a world flavour whenever cowboys get hungry. That’s just what you’ll find at the Golden Lotus Cafe in Hat Creek. And it’s also Hat Creek’s only restaurant.
