\"Visit

Both feature a warm welcome, complimentary hot breakfast, indoor swimming pool and accommodation-attraction packages that can have you exploring the area for less.<\/p>\n

Oh, and where to chow down? When in Sundre, don’t miss a visit to Kodiak BBQ Deli<\/a><\/strong>. Owners Tom Jackson and Kevin Hunter make “BBQ food that dances on your senses and gets your lips rejoicing\u201d. Oh, Kodiak, you had me at “BBQ”. Even if you’re camping, give the Coleman stove some time\u00a0off and grab\u00a0take-out!<\/p>\n

At a Special Event<\/h3>\n

Whether you like to watch the action or be part of it, one of Sundre’s special events<\/a><\/strong> is sure to\u00a0appeal to you.<\/p>\n

The Sundre Pro Rodeo<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0(June 23-25, 2017<\/strong>) is 3 days of cowboy-style fun, including a good ol’ country parade<\/a><\/strong>, big-name rodeo competitors, bulls & wagons, a pancake breakfast, the all-important midway & concessions, and loads of live entertainment.
