One store has dresses in the window that look like they were made for a princess.  The door is open. Inside we meet then owners... Vicki and Darrell... They have been waiting for us…Really?!

This is another place where one can lose themselves in a time warp…this is a costume shop with thousands of costumes from the beginning to the present and into the future…Vicki shares her stories…she is Mrs. Dress-up…this is our world…we dress the world…Who knows who wants to be a pirate next week, or an 80-year old Cleopatra?  If you like yellow, be a duck.  People come here and play dress-up for hours…they come here and find something…we can, and you can, be a little crazy here…

This is not just a costume shop. (Although you should look no further if you need a disguise for Film or TV in Alberta)  This is a community of children of all ages…Vicki and Darrell have a special needs child…this family needed a home…

“This community loves my child and I love this community.” Vicki talks about the biz and Darrell talks about Vicki.  “She started a theater for little ones.  Not everyone fits in with the in crowd but everyone is a superstar at The Tickle Trunk…she loves to work and I love her.”

If you’re coming to the Badlands you need to come to the Tickle Trunk…you need to come to Three Hills.
