I also want to congratulate the Cabri organizers and volunteers for the wonderful weekend I spent in my hometown for the 100th Anniversary. Food was great, entertainment was great, but the greatest of all was visiting with everyone that I hadn't seen since I left Cabri in 1972. It was such a joy to see everyone again. I am sure I speak for my whole family when I say Thank you to all who contributed to make this event possible.

I wanted to say Congratulations to the Organizers and Volunteers of the 100th Anniversary Event. I had such a wonderful time and it was so good to see people from the past, and that the Past was brought back to the Present!! The Variety show and the Museum brought back so much memories and I nearly had forgotten. I am very Proud to have lived in Cabri during my Elementary and High School Years! Thank You Again and a Job Well Done!! Nancy Scott

WOW! What an excellent celebration of 100 years of Cabri! Everything was perfect right down to the weather and that is not an easy feat. Congratulations to everyone involved, the organizing committee, the many, many local volunteers, current Cabri residents and past residents, visitors and entertainers. With the community spirit that was so evident throughout the celebrations, there is no doubt the future will hold many more monumental celebrations . . . here's to Cabri's 200 year bicentennial for our future generations!

Congrats Cabri on a fantastic weekend! It was great to see so many people from our past, present, and future come to celebrate. A special thanks to the organizing committee who put in so many hours of hard work, as well as to those who volunteered to work at events and prepare/serve meals. From the talent show kick off to the fireworks finish, a great time was had by all! And thanks to whoever "ordered" the perfect weather!

A big bouquet to the entire town of Cabri for a crazy successful Cabri Days celebration! Every venue was well planned, well attended and enjoyable. The parade was fantastic and the town looked amazing. It's wonderful to see what can be accomplished when everyone pulls together. So much hard work and planning really paid off! Well done!

As new immigrants to Canada we were welcomed and supported by this terrific community! We joined in to as many community activities as we could as we could see this was how small towns survive. One person's struggle is everyone's struggle and in the 9 years or so we were in Cabri we formed strong bonds and lifelong friendships. Now we live further north, but returned to join in your celebrations. Well done to the whole town for pitching in. The preparations and planning seemed daunting, but it was a huge success. We are proud to have been residents! Well done everyone!

Many congratulations to all Cabri people who still live in the greatest little town in Canada. I grew up there until I was 10 and then moved to Lethbridge. I have many fond memories of my few short years there, but still think of it often. My brother and I stopped in to see Inez W. after a Fowler Reunion at Clearwater Lake about 5 or 6 years ago and I have not been back since. I had planned to come down for the 100th, but I have a 10 year old grandson playing in the Prairie Little League baseball finals in Medicine Hat the same time. Am so sorry not to come! Tell Joan Horvey it was Peter Hopton, not Pat, and I who were the fire bugs in town. Haha! Happy Celebrating!!!!
