On Saturday June 14th the Beer Parlour Project team visited the Waldorf Hotel in Drumheller. Liana, the owner of the establishment was around briefly to greet us, but was unable to stay for the entire evening. We were looked after by our server, Gail, and there was a reasonable crowd in attendance, including a couple of long time locals. We managed to take a bunch of photographs and Chris was able to conduct some interviews. This visit was rather short and sweet. Game Five of the Stanley Cup Playoff Final was starting at 6:00PM. As the tavern did not have any televisions, almost everyone left to go somewhere and watch the game. We packed up all of our gear and headed over to a nearby restaurant to catch the game. This was in the adjacent Alexandra Hotel, which has since had its tavern converted over to a modern sports bar. In hindsight, it wasn't worth it, as the Oilers played really poorly and lost to the Florida Panthers. But it was also not worth remaining in the tavern either as it emptied out completely at game time. All the same I think I got some pretty good portraits and will be sharing them here once I have a chance to develop the film.
