ARA Concert 2009

Saturday, 01 August 2009 22:35

'Get Ready to Get Sweaty' is what the new shirts say. Also just a bit loud .. for me - I manned the Food Bank donation table out in the hallway and helped watch a few of my grandbabies. However, the kids seemed to really enjoy the event. The Westwind News reported about 500 persons of all ages in attendance and they collected 650 lbs of food for the Lethbridge Food Bank that night. Yay Magrath!

Magrath Gas Price Watch - Sep 2006 from 112.4 down to 95.4

Friday, 04 August 2006 07:42

Magrath, AB 04 Sep 2006 (Labor Day) - And another big drop to day (finally, yay) - down to 95.4 in Magrath. And now, I can't help but feel we have been being ripped off this past summer. We now sit at a price level not seen for about 3 months and coincidently about the same as last year at this time. Meanwhile, over the past year we dropped to a low of about .78 in Nov and a high of 1.13 last month in Aug. And I fondly remember just 3 years ago when average prices in Alberta were under .59 per litre! How is this not reflected in some major kind of inflation increase?

Now this is cool. Click www.albertagasprices.com for interactive historical charts showing average historical prices, or click here to see gas price info for many places in Alberta .. now including here in Magrath, eh!
