Some of the more unusual items found in the past include a message in a bottle (the message said, “Please don’t litter”), false teeth, a living room set, a canoe made out of duct tape, wedding dress, disco ball, a hotel safe, a toboggan, a mini trampoline and a clothesline complete with poles and pins.

Oyal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride (8:00 AM - 9:00 AM)
One of Canada’s most recognized icons, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police Musical Ride will be performing at the Enmax Centrium, Westerner park on Sunday, August 1st in support of the Central Alberta Women’s Emergency Shelter. The RCMP Musical Ride represents a colourful Canadian tradition. The troop of 32 horses and riders will perform a variety of cavalry drills choreographed to music. Working through a unique medium, they support the RCMP community policing efforts throughout Canada. The Musical Ride was developed in 1876 by early members of the North-West Mounted Police to display their riding ability and entertain the local community. It has evolved over the decades into a uniquely Canadian performance enjoyed by tens of thousands of spectators every year. Members of the Musical ride are first and foremost police officers. They have at least two years experience in active police work before volunteering for duty with the Musical Ride. Surprisingly, most have no prior riding experience. The Musical Ride has not had a performance in Red Deer for many years and The Central Alberta Women’s Emergency Shelter is excited to welcome members to our community in support victims of domestic violence in our region. “The shelter maintains a strong relationship with our local RCMP detachments” says CAWES Executive Director Ian Wheeliker. “They provide outstanding support of the work that we do everyday here at the shelter”. Chief Superintendant Brian Simpson of the Red Deer RCMP is also excited to welcome the ride to Red Deer. “The Musical Ride represents a significant part of Canadian Heritage, and the opportunity to view the performance in all it's majesty speaks to a part of what this great country is about. Besides it is a lot of fun to watch!” says Simpson. An exciting pre-performance demonstration from the local RCMP Dog Training Depot will begin at 2:30pm. The whole event runs for about 2 hours. This will be fun for all the family! And for a great cause in our community. Tickets are available to purchase via Ticketmaster for a cost of $8 per child (2-12) and $12 per adult. Tickets will also be available at the door (ticketmaster fees apply)
