Peter Biemans passed away in August 2009 after a hard-fought battle with ALS. ALS is a disease that leaves the affected completely dependent on others, trapped in a body that they can no longer control. To watch Peter turn from an outgoing, active person to someone who could only sit and watch the world go by was absolutely heart-wrenching.

The Biemans family wanted to raise money and awareness for the ALS Society of Alberta while celebrating the life of a truly wonderful man. With their local Walk cancelled, the Biemans family decided to fill the gap left by that event and Quonset Days was born. The first Quonset Days was organized in 2010 in only a little over a month and over $7500 was raised the first year!

In 2016, the Biemans family realized that Quonset Days had grown so much that they required help with organizing the event. Thanks to some great friends, the Quonset Days Board of Directors was formed. Their goal with their board is to continue making Quonset Days better every year. Quonset Days has grown to include a silent and live auction, kick-off party, live bands, crazy games, beer gardens and camping. The event is held on the family farm – It truly is the “Greatest Outdoor Party on Dirt”!

Quonset Days has become one of the biggest events supporting the ALS cause in Alberta.

Thank you to Janet, Trevor, Breanne, Traci & Brandon for making possibilities for our families. To learn more about this year’s event, visit quonsetdays.com
