What a great kick off to the Lacombe and District Chamber of Commerce Small Business Breakfast series!

I was happy to be invited to speak on the topic of communications and how we relay our messages to our teams and our audience.

I'm looking forward to future topics that will help to inform, inspire and ignite small business in and around Lacombe!

Next up - Small Business Breakfast!

I've been invited to help kick off this new speaker series dedicated to addressing various topics relevant to small businesses in and around Lacombe!

I'll be highlighting my experience in communications and how businesses can enhance and expand their existing efforts in marketing, public relations, collaborations, customer service and crisis management while truly thinking about the who, what, where, when, why and how we communicate.

Looking forward to working with the great team behind Small Business Breakfast to bring you the first of many helpful and insightful presentations!

Mental Health Matters!
YOU Matter!

Honoured to be involved once more in the 13th Annual Walk For Wellness and Su***de Prevention this coming Sunday, September 8th in Lacombe.

Join our community as we gather to talk about our mental health, share in our grief and our sorrow as well as our memories and kindness. Whether you've been impacted by mental health or su***de, or if you simply wish to show your support for those who have, you're invited to attend - no registration required!

We are so happy and excited to confirm that Darcy, ŵ Speakeasy MC Services, will once again MC The Walk for Wellness and Su***de Prevention. Darcy has a way, like no other MC, that captures the crowd and makes you feel like you're all just family hanging in mom's kitchen. You feel that comfortable, and you have that many laughs. Even when talking about hard things, it's okay to laugh. Darcy had been a steadfast supporter of The Walk for Wellness and Su***de Prevention, and we are honored to have him back again this year.

Catching bids for the Gull Lake Golf Course 18th Annual Pro-Am Event while catching looks for the pink dinosaur shirt!

It was a wonderful weekend of golf with the pros while raising funds for the Jr. Golf Foundation of Gull Lake.

Over $100,000.00 has been awarded in scholarships these past 18 years, and the future of golf has never been brighter with the skilled, kind and respectful youth in the program today!

Wishing you a great summer of golf, fun, sun and family!

As the busy summer season begins to arrive, be sure to reach out for any MC or marketing needs soon - I'm already booking into winter 2024!

Last month I had the pleasure of MCing the Lacombe Fish and Game Association's Awards Gala!

Not only did we celebrate the achievements of local anglers and hunters, we raised funds for a playground upgrade at Len Thompson Fish Pond here in Lacombe.

(I also got to practice my animal calls during an impromptu 'Call of the Wild' game for dinner order.... apologies to those affected!)

Another AMAZING night in Town of Blackfalds with Blackfalds FCSS and others celebrating the Youth of the Community!

Happy to return to the red carpet and bask among the superstars of the Blackfalds Youth Recognition Night! As MC, it was stunning to help in the recognition of some of the most dedicated youth in Central Alberta!

Congratulations to all of the nominees and recipients in each of the Elementary, Junior and High School categories - your efforts in school, extra curriculars, sports, leadership, peer support, inclusion, generosity and goodwill truly make Blackfalds shine!

What an incredible night recognizing the 'Best of Blackfalds' with the Blackfalds FCSS and Town of Blackfalds Volunteer Appreciation Event!

It was my absolute pleasure to be back as MC and to acknowledge the hard working and dedicated volunteer individuals and groups who make tremendous contributions to their community.

A new award this year, the 'Voluntold of the Year' award in memory of Gary Kroetsch, recognizes the contributions of those who reluctantly, non-committedly, unofficially assist in volunteer efforts, and I'm confident many deserving 'voluntolds' will be recognized for years to come!

Thank-you Blackfalds, and Thank-you Volunteers!

I LOVE what I do!

Here's what my clients had to say about my most recent outing as MC for A Night Among The Stars charity dance event;

"Darcy! You were a gem to have and the best money we spent throughout the event! You asked for feedback and our committee had NOTHING bad to say! You helped make the night go seamless and kept us on time and saved our butts on a few things! I hope you were able to enjoy a bite to eat and a drink and would be the first person to say yes to us when we plan for 2025!"

Looking forward to MC'ing the various galas, fundraisers, municipal recognition events and golf tournaments that are coming up for 2024!

If you're thinking of reaching out, do it soon! Dates are booking up quickly!

When it comes to dance I'm a bit of a professional wallflower, but get me talkin' and we'll have a show!

Getting set to MC A Night Among The Stars this Saturday with celebrity guests, seasoned professionals, up-and-comers and more - hope to see you there!

Who is ready for a fun night out? Join Big Brothers Big Sisters Lacombe & District & the members of Dancer's Edge Parent Association on Saturday, at 6:00pm when our doors open to be greeted by a crisp glass of Champagne sponsored by our title sponsor, Lacombe Ford!
