Food trucks gather to display their delicious offerings in a common ground where people can mingle and listen to some music (live band or DJ) while supporting local food truck companies.
Fly in and food truck challenge at Flagstaff Regional Airport
Iron Creek Flying Club has considered the idea of having a fly in similar to the “Camrose Fly In Breakfast” but with a food truck challenge folded into the mix.
This would allow the locals to view aircraft from throughout Alberta and Saskatchewan as well to showcase the airport to the county residents as it has an extremely positive reputation in the aviation community.
With food trucks gaining popularity, what better way to feed everyone than to incorporate a food truck competition. Those who manage to have the most popular dish win bragging rights as well as a possible prize and some media coverage from our local press.

Farmers’ Cooperative
Hi there, I’ll be new to the area shortly, but i’d like to see the creation of a large scale farmers’ market along the lines of what is done at St Jacob’s ON.
Largely created and built by their local Mennonite community, St Jacob’s is known across the province for it’s incredible selection and quality and has become a tourist destination for the ultimate outdoor market experience.
I myself remember being loaded up in the car one or twice a year to make the 2.5 hr drive to see the Mennonites showcase of not only wares but glimpses into their culture and history, and with many Hutterite communities as well as long cemented farmers it lends itself the opportunity to establish something of that nature.
My recommendation is to emulate a building such as Crossroads market in Calgary and build out from there. Marketing can be done cheaply through targeting specific Facebook groups in the larger cities. I would also recommend that such a facility be located in Daysland or Bawlf as it would be good to be away from the spectre of BVJ and proximity to local hospital advantageous for an influx of tourist populace.
Renting of stall space is also advantageous to spark small business owners that may operate on a very low scale as making a jump to brick and mortar isn’t sustainable.
Offering farm to table options without a grocer’s intermediary charges would also prove a benefit for those that would put the work in and established businesses would attract more foot traffic.
Yours truly
