It’s been 100 years since the notorious pair, Florence Lassandro and Emilio Picariello, were hanged at Fort Saskatchewan’s Provincial Jail. Tried and convicted for the 1922 death of A.P.P. Constable Lawson, their case remains one of the most famous in Alberta.

Join us for an unforgettable evening of food, drink, and live music of the era, as we explore the rum-running history of the Crowsnest Pass and the lives of these infamous figures.

"Amazing learning connections were made between our study of past and present and your program. Lunch facilities were great. The games and hands on activities we played were so much fun. So many happy faces to be spending time in jail! The tour of village were also extremely well done. Again, the children were kept engaged and involved. The mock trial was great fun. I can’t say enough about your program It is absolutely fanstastic. Your staff does an outstanding job leading the children."
