One Rock Okotoks, the new official Okotoks clothing line, is a think tank of three local entrepenuers who decided to take pride in the community and want to share it with others.  

Joelle Guzzo, Cheryl Actemichuk, and Derrick Birkmann noticed a need in the area of Okotoks oriented clothing and decided to create their own line. 

Guzzo says they came together to solve the problem. 

"My partners Cheryl, Derrick and I have been talking for quite some time about the fact that there is no official Okotoks clothing." The only suitable solution seemed apparent. 

 "We've all had friends or family over the years out visiting and they all seem to ask if there's anywhere they can go to find a t-shirt that says Okotoks, so we decided we needed to do something with this.  The three of us collaborated and came up with our first 100 T-shirts and now we're selling them."

One Rock and it's founders were at Taste of Okotoks selling their first shipment of t-shirts with many residents giving them positive feedback and comments. 

If you missed them but want your very own Okotoks One Rock shirt, Guzzo says you'll see them around town more often now. 

"Also there are quite a few people in town you'll see wearing the shirts, so we're hoping the word of mouth will get around.  Our business cards are being made right now, but you'll be able to find us at any local market throughout the whole summer."

The group will eventually add new designs, styles and clothing types if this is successful, Guzzo says they've already been asked to create youth sizes. 

If you want to keep up with these local entrepenuers, you can find them on Instagram at OneRockOkotoks or visit them at events and markets through out the summer.
