Participating Businesses
Western Scents
In 2020 Katya started making candles. This grew into a fun hobby during the pandemic which evolved into a business she became very passionate about. Almost a year later, Katya and her husband packed their dogs and belongings and headed to Alberta from Ontario. After three days of driving they found themselves pulling off HWY 13 and into Sedgewick. It’s almost been a year since that day and Katya couldn’t imagine her life being anywhere else. She has embodied the culture of rural Alberta, found peace in the community and quiet of a small town. This is a feeling she wishes everyone could experience. Katya is now settled in the Flagstaff Region and her small business, Western Scents, has evolved into a very successful candle making company.

Brenna Page Photography
Work first, play later, is photographer Brenna Bartley’s motto. She’s a young lady full of hopes and dreams for her photography business and always looking on the bright side of things. Photography isn’t her only love in life. This talented girl is thankful for the past 20 years of growing up on a farm, living in a community where every single person knows who you are, and visiting small-town banks that don’t require your ID. She likes floating in the dugout watering hole and not caring that the “beach” is actually solid mud with some fresh cow patties mixed in. She likes sitting on her deck and not hearing a single sound other than birds chirping happily. She’s a small-town girl who enjoys the simple life where work has value in more ways than just dollars.

Blacksheep Bacon Jam
Amy has a long-standing passion for food including a professional cooking diploma in Culinary Arts. She has worked at various hotels and restaurants in Calgary and eventually progressed to Management where she ended up in the oilfield managing kitchens for 2.5 years. She now lives on an acreage outside of Forestburg cooking for family and friends, gardening and enjoying the quiet, but busy acreage life. The idea for Bacon Jam started as a quest to find the perfect burger condiment and it quickly became a family favourite each summer. They’ve now tried her delicious tasting condiment with almost anything you can think of. Amy is slowly progressing away from her “day job” in massage therapy to return to her true passion for cooking, with the goal of making Bacon Jam her full time job.
