On Friday August 14th the Beer Parlour Project team visited the Evansburg Inn, in Evansburg, Alberta. We had prearranged with the owners for our visit. The establishment is owned by a family group and they have operated the hotel and tavern for over 20 years. Chris and I were out for this one. Margarit and my youngest daughter Helena came along. Helena turned 18 just a few weeks ago so this was her first time coming along on a Beer Parlour Project outing in a real bar. Later in the evening Arturo and Sharon drove out and joined us.
It was moderately busy when we first arrived and Chris and I were able to talk to the owners as well as a number of locals. I took some photographs with my big view camera. There was a reporter out from the weekly newspaper in Drayton Valley and she interviewed Chris and I about the project, and also spoke to others.
Sadly it got quiet later in the evening and by the time that Arturo and Connie arrived, there were not a lot of people left. They didn't really get much of an opportunity to join in.
Every year the town elects a town grouch. Sadly this year's grouch was unable to join us at the Beer Parlour.
