Stry is a small rural locality in Smoky Lake County, south and east of the Village of Vilna, and the Anniversary Hall on Township Road 584 is its gathering place for events that draw families from across the surrounding farmland. The hall is listed locally as the Stry 75 Anniversary Hall, and it has taken on larger events in recent seasons: Cowboy Fest in the Pines, a weekend of cowboy and classic country music, poetry, and food, has been held at the Stry hall.
MCSnet sponsors the internet connection at the hall, giving guests and organizers a way to get online in a rural stretch of the county where cellular coverage can be unreliable. It is one of the MCSnet sponsored hotspots across Smoky Lake County, alongside venues in the town of Smoky Lake, the hamlet of Bellis, and the Village of Vilna.
Use these steps to connect at Stry Anniversary Hall. The network name and password are the same at every MCSnet sponsored hotspot.
No MCSnet home internet subscription is needed. Access to the building follows the venue’s opening hours and visitor policies.
