The Village of Empress

is nestled between the Red Deer River and the South Saskatchewan River, at the eastern edge of Alberta. There is a wild feel to this quaint village surrounded by expansive farms and ranches, pronghorns, coyotes and so many different species of birds. The recreation opportunities for adventurers and star-gazers are boundless. Come and see for yourself!

Empress Daze

Another busy week for Empress starting off tonight July 10th, with Ball at the ball diamonds and continuing with ball through the weekend. Saturday night there will be a dance at the Community Hall. Than we move into Monday and the start of the sturling bonspiels running Monday through Thursday. As well on Monday evening we have the 3D barrel racing series happening at Dale and Jen Howes. Along with the Sturling Bonspiel we have regular curling starting Thursday evening and running through the weekend. This is a cash spiel and we have 16 teams enterd so pretty exciting. Other events happening as part of our Empress Daze is our Businesmans pancake breakfast Saturday morning July 18th from 8-10 followed by the parade at 10:30. That afternoon has kids games going on sponsored by That’s Empressive. Check out their soft ice cream and slushies to help beat the heat. Dan will have daily lunch and dinner specials at the restaurant Tuesday to Sunday, and the Lounge will be open throughout the curling bonspiel. It’s going to be a hot one so come in and cool off by watching the sturling/curling happening in July in Empress.
