Ephemera are items which were not originally designed to be retained or preserved, but have been collected or retained… “the minor transient documents of everyday life”. Ephemera are often paper-based, printed items, including menus, ticket stubs, newspapers, postcards, posters, sheet music, stickers, and greeting cards.

The 1st Annual Rodeo-Tomahawk Days fell on October 21 & 22, 1969. It was a very exciting time. The residents, businesses and organizations of the Town and R.M. of Cut Knife, in conjunction with the communities of Little Pine, Poundmaker and Sweetgrass, were doing everything they could to launch tourism in the area.
The Tomahawk had yet to be built, and the CMMM’s Ovenstown building had not yet been relocated, but this first event would feature an assortment of activities and tourist draws, anyway. Included in the 2-day festival was a parade, contests and competitions, a kangaroo court, the wooden nickel fundraiser and, of course, the rodeo. An important part of the mix in the lead up to the rodeo was the advertising.
Here are a few examples of local businesses and their promotions for Rodeo-Tomahawk Days, Highway 40 Courier, Oct. 16, 1969, pages 6 & 7:
