You may have picked up Avenue Magazine this month to find Christy Morin, President of Arts On The Ave, featured as one of their “Top 40 Under 40″. You can read that article online at http://www.avenueedmonton.com/articles/page/item/christy-morin.

Or, perhaps you’ve been over to the City of Edmonton website, where The Avenue Initiative is featured with an image on the front page, linking to a story and a video about the exciting changes happening on Alberta Avenue these days. Our very own Carrot Community Arts Coffeehouse and Kaleido Festival are mentioned as well.

If you haven’t caught the “Avenue Fever” yet, perhaps Thursday is your day. Here is the official word from the Avenue Initiative;

Global Edmonton is taking the News Hour On the Road to Alberta Avenue! Tune into the News Hour at 6.00 on Thursday, November 5th to see Gord Steinke, Lynda Steele and the rest of the Global Edmonton team broadcasting live from the Alberta Avenue Farmer’s Market and The Carrot Coffeehouse.

We need YOU to help show Edmonton what a great neighbourhood Alberta Avenue is. We need both the Farmers’ Market and The Carrot filled with all the great people who live in the area. Bring the whole family down, tell your neighbours, bring your friends!

Both Global News at 5 and 6 will be broadcast from Alberta Avenue but during the 6 o’clock news you see stories about things happening in Alberta Avenue, a live interview with Judy Allan on the Avenue Revitalization, as well as live footage from the Farmers’ Market and The Carrot.

At the Farmers’ Market (9210 118 Avenue) between 5pm and 7pm:

Free balloon animals
Free face painting
Free entertainment
And of course, lots of great food & gift products to buy

And don’t worry about making supper. We have a concession and grill a mean hotdog.
Global Special: hotdog, drink and chips or chocolate bar for only $4

At The Carrot Community Arts Coffeehouse (9351 – 118 Avenue) between 5pm and 7pm:

Global weather live from The Carrot!
Live Entertainment
Bring a friend and enjoy a 2 for 1 Latte!

And you’ll be happy to know the construction on 118 Avenue is over for the season. You can once again drive in either direction. Happy Driving and see you on Thursday!

Please forward this information, add it to your facebook page, tweet it and spread the word anyhow you can!
