I'll do that, thank you. How far away is the high school? I have one that will be in HS in Sept.

Hi from the Hat. I agree with pelle31 that the lfs is not great as livestock prices can be high, often with little stock, and dry goods often much more expensive. But there are stores in Lethbridge (90 minutes away) and a couple reefers in Taber which is on the way to Lethbridge. Calgary is 3 hours away and of course you can always use J&L. And one more to trade with would be great!

It can be hot in the summer but that just makes the beer taste better...

Normally bussing from Redcliff to high school is to Dunmore, about 20 minutes away from Redcliff on the other side of the Hat on highway #1 (a rural school district thing.)

You can choose to send your kids to one of the 3 high schools in the Hat but I believe in that case bussing is not provided.

Good luck with your husband's application. Any questions just ask.

I live in Southridge and one of my Daughters goes to Crescent Heights High and bussing is provided!! Sorry Ross

Your all more then welcome to come out to the Lake in the Summer(I have a lot) and we can talk reef,throw a line and drink a few woobly pops. Bring your own tent though and sleeping gear!! I'll supply the fire a cold fridge and the BBQ!!!!

Just to clarify what I meant to say...

If you live in Redcliff I understand that bussing for high school is only supplied to Dunmore.

If you live in the Hat I believe that bussing is provided to any of the three high schools.

Or get em a car... everything is at most 20 minutes away... max

Thanks, very helpful info.

So true, an icey cold beer always tastes like heaven on a hot, hot day
