Both the weather and local events are starting to heat up in Okotoks.

Saturday marks a big day for young entrepreneurs as they'll decorate the town with their stands for Lemonade Day. Participants have been hard at work on their business plans and will be raising funds for the charities of their choice.

The Okotoks Art Gallery is also hosting it's first Art on the Lawn event of the season from 11a.m.- 4 p.m. with local artists and vendors on site.

Anyone with old documents they'd like to properly dispose of can take them to the document shredding event at the Okotoks Eco Centre from 10 a.m.- 2 p.m. The event is part of Environment Week and shredding will be done onsite by a portable shredding truck that will see all papers be recycled.

The Suds it Up car wash is also taking place at Carstar Okotoks where proceeds from the $5 washes will go towards cystic fibrosis research in Canada and the Alberta Children's Hospital.
