Cochrane Culture Days 2023
Cochrane Culture Days was a another fantastic success! We again teamed up with the Cochrane Farmers Market and the Cochrane Classic Car Club to combine great performances with their ongoing events. New additions to the line up were the Drowsy Maggies (Celtic band), the Calgary Wind Symphony and Wazin Ichinabi Ti artisan market in their premises on Main Street.
