Weekend events to look forward to in Lethbridge

It’s not all gloom-and-doom with restrictions, shutdowns and lockdowns here in Lethbridge.  Two popular events have merged together at Exhibition Park for your weekend enjoyment.

Expos are a great way to explore new wares, while supporting local businesses.  And this weekend two events are sure to appeal to you.  The Mother’s Day gift expo has been a long-running tradition here in Lethbridge.  Courtney Samuels who is the event’s organizer gives us a preview of what you can expect.

And while it is an unwritten rule to never forget mom, who could possibly forget loving on our furry little family members? The Pet Expo is taking place simultaneously at the same venue.

Both events run Saturday, May 8 from 10-4 pm. Admission is free.
