Around 278 km (172.7 mi.) southeast of Calgary, about an hour north of the Montana border, lies the town of Taber. It's home to around 7,670 people. Originally a coal mining town, today Taber is largely an agricultural town. Leading employers in town are several food processing plants including a Roger's Sugar sugar beet processing plant built in 1950, and a Frito Lay plant.

Taber calls itself the Corn Capital of Canada, and is well known for its quality corn. Every August it hosts a "Cornfest" which includes corn tasting and games, a 'Best Corn of the Year' award, a midway and an entertainment stage. A little farther afield, Taber is fairly close to Waterton Lakes National Park which offers great outdoors activities both summer and winter.

Enjoy some sweet southern hospitality at Taber's hotels.
