SCHOOL TEACHERS DESCEND ON THE CROWN & ANCHOR

It was the 2008 Teacher's Convention in Grande Prairie, and they needed a nite out on the town! Admittedly not everyone in the picture is a teacher,...and I'm not sure they would want their identities known either!! That's Leonne (not a school teacher) in the B&W dress (right corner) celebrating her birthday that night.

Kim, Martin, Marty & Sam

Okay, I'll admit that I'm not sure "who is who", but the fact is they were having a great time!!

Jaclyn, Jeff & Chris

These some of my friends from the Crown & Anchor. Jaclyn is a huge fan of '70's music & Classic Rock (I think Bob Dylan is one of her faves).

HORSE THIEF STRIKES AGAIN!!
(Darcy, Anna, Theresa, Jim & Ryan)

My Buddies Jim & Ryan are great players from a band called "Horse Thief". They took a much needed break from their rehearsal schedule and came out to Crown & Anchor for a couple of drinks! (I even managed to get Ryan up to play a tune!)
Theresa (Jim's significant "other") helps keep the guys "in check"! Looking forward to hearing you guys with your new band mates.

Judy, Paulette, (unknown "party crasher" guy), Pam & Cécile

Judy, Paulette, Pam & Cécile

Paulette left "northern Alberta" for a while (& had a taste of life in "cowtown" Calgary) but then decided she couldn't bear to be away from all her friends, and moved back to Grande Prairie! Good to see you back again, Paulette!!

Half a Wayne is better than no Wayne at all!
(Okay,...so I'm not a great photographer.) The Peace Auto Electric staff are smiling pretty here!!

Wayne, Carol & Barb (left side, front to back)
Diane, Eleanor, James & Randy (right side, front to back)

The folks at Peace Auto Electric chose to celebrate their Christmas party at the Crown! Hey guys,...it was nice to meet you all!!

Dylan, Jeff, Dawn & Dave

...And a good time was had by all! Jeff and Dave hadn't seen each other for about 20 years. Good friends/good times seem to go "hand in hand" at the Crown & Anchor.

"Making rather Merry"!

I've said it before and I'll say it again,..."some of the best times happen around the piano bar"!!

Melissa & Jennifer

Stylish,...eh wot? These ladies really knew how to stand out in the crowd with their "fabulous sense of fashion"!!

Jordan & Farron (back) Diane & Keli (front)

It was a difficult day for these ladies, but I'm glad they were able to "brave it out" and find some time for themselves at the Crown & Anchor!

Group Hug!!

Some of the best times at the Crown & Anchor, happen around the piano bar.

Friends Forever!

I'm kicking myself for misplacing names...I know it's Chelsy on the right but I seem to have misplaced the other young lady's name. (I'm hoping one of them will drop me a note or leave a comment so I can remedy my negligence!)

Leanne, Anna, Jill, Melissa & Steve

This was the first time I'd met Jill. I guess she has worked "the Crown" for a while but only does the occasional night now and then.

"Arthur Murray School of Dance" grads??!

I don't know about dance grads, but it was just a matter of time before Brenda, Zorda, Jody, Gail and Donna managed to infiltrate the rest of the Crown & Anchor patrons and have everybody partying! (...sorry gents, I didn't get your names!!)

Brenda, Jody, Zorda, Gail, Jeff & Donna

I couldn't pass up the invitation to be in on the photo with these party-goers!!

Brenda, Jody, Zorda, Gail & Donna
(Girls just wanna have fun!)

Once these lovely ladies showed up at the Crown Anchor the party really got going!

Leanne, Anna, Melissa & Steve

After a hard day at work...no better place for a cold drink than at work. Here's some of the Crown & Anchor staff enjoying some leisure time. It was good to finally get a "pic" of Leanne and Anna....and nice to meet Melissa's beau, Steve. Steve is a salesman at GP Mazda in Grande Prairie. (...who knows, if you tell him you saw his photo on my website he might even give you a better deal on your next car?!)

Tony, Sean & Paul

Three musketeers (or three stooges?)...either way, it was good to see Paul again. He used to work here at the Crown & Anchor and he brought his room-mate and his "supervisor" out for a nite of merriment!
