Seven Persons is the place to be on May 10 as the community gears up for a full day of fun, food, and festivities. To start with, Premium Sausage is ringing in its 35th anniversary with in-store deals and door prizes, including a chance for guests to win a new kid’s bike from Cyclepath.

 For 35 years, Premium Sausage has been a staple in Seven Persons and later in Medicine Hat (opening that location in 2021), offering hand-crafted, high-quality sausage and proudly supporting the local community. To mark this special occasion, the team invites everyone to join the celebration. Head over to their store for sales, door prizes and more – then head next door to enjoy the ice cream treats at Crowsnest Cones!

Debbie Penner, co-owner, says, “This anniversary is so special to us, and we’re thrilled to celebrate with the people who’ve supported us over the years.”

The fun doesn’t stop at Premium Sausage! May 10 is also the date of the annual Seven Persons Parade. Here’s what to expect on this day of community and celebration:

• Seven Persons Parade – Kick off the day by gathering along the parade route to cheer on the floats and community groups that make this event so special (9:30 a.m.)

• Annual Car Show – Check out more than 40 classic and unique cars at this much-loved event, a favourite event for all. (10-2 p.m.)

• Jumpy Castle for Kids – Young ones can bounce the day away in a fun, safe environment.

• Free Observatory Tours – Cross the highway to explore the wonders of the universe with free tours at the observatory from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

• Fire Hall Open House – Stop by the Seven Persons Fire Hall to meet local firefighters, check out their equipment, and learn more about their important work.

Whether you’re coming for the deals at Premium Sausage, the classic cars, the ice cream, or more, May 10 offers something for everyone. It’s a day to celebrate not just an incredible local business, but the vibrant community of Seven Persons that makes events like this possible.
