Sunbusiest day

We do this every week: read through everything happening in Banff, cross out the filler, and keep the stuff worth leaving the house for. This weekend (Oct 02–Oct 04) gave us 27 events to choose from. These are the keepers.

The spread is community and sports, with Saturday stacking up 9 events — the busiest day of the three. 2 of the weekend's events are free.

If your budget's tight this month: 2 of the weekend's events are free. Weekends don't have to be expensive to be good.
