ABOUT JURASSIC FOREST:


Jurassic Forest is an educational and entertainment center that opened on July 30, 2010. When it opened, the facility featured a total of 42 animatronic dinosaurs, an interpretive center, con- cession and gift shop area. Jurassic Forest is a seasonal tourist attraction located on Highway 28 just north of Gibbons, Alber- ta, just minutes away from Edmonton, Alberta by vehicle. The facility is situated in a mature boreal forest setting and features dinosaurs in their natural habitat. The dinosaurs can be easily viewed from wooden trails that lead through the forest. The trail system consists of two separate loops, the South Discovery trail and the North Discovery trail with each measuring about 1.0 km in length. The trails are wheelchair friendly and are accessible in all types of weather conditions. www jurassicforest.com


In the Upbeat Times, editorial and advertising are the perfect mix and work well together. We call it the win-win phi- losophy of publishing. When a business advertises in this paper, we feel they are part


owners because they make it possible to pay the printer. We feel they should also be able to have articles printed in Up- beat Times that are non-sales pieces that share knowledge, expertise and or help other people that are in need of well deserved publicity.
