Good morning Cochrane! Things may begin to look a little different in town tomorrow due to some new Covid-19 restrictions, so I'd like to take a moment to encourage everyone to check in with your local businesses on Facebook/Instagram before heading out. Most businesses have posted which new rules will apply to them & a few may still be deciding. It is important to remember that this has been a long road to recovery for our local businesses and that no matter their choice, please follow their posted rules OR BE KIND. Also, to the owner of this fabulous truck I spied in the Quarry yesterday... AWESOME! *Sam #community #cochranetogether #mycochrane

Have you been hitting up all the fantastic Cochrane Pride Week events? Lots of colour in town this week... it makes me happy! We are getting ready for tonight's family friendly drag show at The CLUB Teen Drop In - BGC Cochrane and Area starting at 5pm - in our household, these are our colours (but all colours are great in our opinion!). ♥️🧡💛💚💙💜🤎🖤🤍 *Sam
Some days call for rides in the Jeep, A&W Chubby Chicken Burgers + Sweet Potato Fries & Pink Grapefruit 7-11 Slurpees. #cochraneloveslocal #supportlocal #dowhatyougottado PS- yes, this Jeep is in 'drive', but it was better for the shot. 100% fully parked with brakes on.
