Chris Davis, Pincher Creek Voice
The Town has attended the show for a number of years. The Pincher Creek and District Historical Society (PCDHS), which manages the Kootenai Brown Pioneer Village, has been the managing partner for the endeavour for the last three years, and bookings for next year's show are already due. In the past PCDHS has booked a large block of space at the show that has been filled with various partners from this region.
At their April 24 meeting Town Council voted unanimously to decline the invitation to attend next year, based upon a recommendation and Request for Decision signed by Economic Development Officer Wendy Kalkan and Town CAO Laurie Wilgosh, following a recommendation to decline to attend made at the April 5 Committee of the Whole meeting.
The Request for Decision reads in part "The writer believes Kootenai Brown Pioneer Village will adequately represent Pincher Creek at the 2013 Calgary Home and Garden Trade Show, and that Town of Pincher Creek Economic Development is able to achieve similar awareness and promotion through some of the other marketing, promotion and trade show options and strategies discussed at the April 5, 2012 Committee of the Whole meeting."
