Let’s Go on a Mouse Hunt! Mouse adventurers Bart and Art Longtail are the main characters from The Longtail Brothers Misadventures, written by local author Laurie Carmichael (pen name: Daisy Belle Kling).
This summer, the brothers have journey
ed into the heart of historic downtown Okotoks to learn all about this fun and unique place.
Here’s one of the fun facts they discovered: Okotoks was once called Dewdney. Who is Dewdney, you ask? Join the journey and find out.
Across downtown, seven signs mark the spots where the brothers paused to uncover interesting facts and hidden stories. Can you find them all?
To begin your adventure, choose one of two options:
- Scan the QR code below, or
- Pick up a brochure at the Okotoks Art Gallery (53 North Railway Street).
For a chance to win an autographed copy of The Longtail Brothers Misadventures – A New Home, complete the survey and send me a photo of you enjoying your adventure. Look for Laurie and the mouse brothers at the Children’s Parade on June 20 and during the Canada Day Celebrations, where they’ll be promoting the journey.
This event is proudly supported by the Town of Okotoks Arts & Cultural Activation Grant.
