I'm also hoping to get in a little shopping and talk time along with dinner.

This weekend in Jaywalkers Jamboree in Camrose, which means lots of street fair food! The vintage shop is also having a great sale by the looks of it, but it was closed today when I went. :(
Maybe it's because the ride outside was pumping loud, obnoxious Top 40 music!
It's also Augustana's centenary weekend. 100 years ago, some Norwegian-Canadians established Camrose Lutheran College, with a vision to provide education to the young town of Camrose. Now, after a few name changes, it's the Augustana Campus of the University of Alberta - a small liberal arts institution with a rural focus and a big name attached.
In the last year, I've fallen in love with Augustana. I love the campus, especially when you head straight down 49 street and see Old Main - the original CLC building - rising in the distance among the modern buildings. In the style of Russian photographer Sergey Larenkov's Ghosts of WWII photography series, I did my own, juxtaposing what the campus looks like now with a photo of Old Main from the 1940s.
I did this historic collage rather quickly so it's not the best, but I like it as a first attempt. I have access to a lot of old newspapers and photos, so I hope to make this a reoccurring project to showcase how much Camrose has changed - and how much stayed the same!
