Fun at Leduc #1’s Annual Rib Cook Off

The rain didn’t stop the fun at Leduc #1’s Annual Rib Cook Off. My family stopped in to check it out and my son was in heaven since his favourite meal involves ribs!  Oh, and he said “the chocolate waffles were D-E-E-LISH!”

You can enjoy seeing where Alberta’s first oil derrick is located and take a historical tour of Alberta’s most important industry at the Leduc #1 Energy Discovery Centre.

Some caricatures from the day:
