More than 20 years after launching an arcade room in Red Deer’s Gasoline Alley, Jim Roth has decided to “Play Again.” He even came out of retirement to do it. 

  The Boardwalk (on Gaetz) Entertainment Centre combines the nostalgia of 80s-style arcades with modern, interactive gaming – resulting in a sort of Coney Island theme with additional attractions such as laser tag, a 7D Dark Ride, mini bowling and spaces for birthday parties and other events. 

If you are old enough, I’m sure you will remember the news that rocked the hockey world on August 9, 1988. Peter Pocklington had traded Wayne Gretzky to the LA Kings for Jimmy Carson, Martin Gelinas, 15 million cash and first round draft picks in 1989, 1991 and 1993.

In 2019 Executive Director Ray Whitton began a music program that started with Participants playing simple instruments, learning melody and singing karaoke but since our humble beginning has turned into so much more.

Maybe you’re looking to do some light yard maintenance this summer. Or perhaps you need to put in some heavy work at a rural property. Whatever your plans, you can count on Laramee Enterprises to have the equipment you require.

Officially, Schnell Industries Inc. was established in 1994 when Fred Dueck opened a farm equipment repair shop in a rented, 600 sq. ft. space in Plum Coulee, MB then known as Dueck Machining. In reality, what would become the well-known manufacturing enterprise began long before that.

“My dad is an inventor,” says Fred’s son Brent Dueck, now the president of Schnell Industries. “He had a burning desire to do his own thing and wanted something his family could be involved with.”

Donavon Henrion and Tanner Allemand have been friends for a pretty long time. “Best friends forever,” in Henrion’s words. 

“He breeds and raises bucking bulls, and he’s a bull rider,” he continues. “And I have MS. We've always wanted to put on bull riding, so we kind of just put two and two together.”
