Late last week Heartland had a special guest as Tianna, a thirteen-year-old from Lac La Biche, Alberta visited the cast and crew and was able to meet some of the cast and witness some filming of her favourite series. [Click through and read on]
Tianna's visit was arranged by the Make A Wish Foundation of Phoenix, Arizona.
She arrived on set accompanied by her family and representatives of the Make A Wish Foundation from the Northern and Southern Alberta Chapters.
As you can see from these photos, she had a wonderful time and was able to meet Amber and Shaun, who were on set that day. She also was treated to a ride on Stormy, the horse who plays Spartan, and was able to sit in with the camera crew as they shot one of the scenes for an upcoming episode of Heartland.
As always, the cast and crew were most accommodating, and helped make Tianna's day very special indeed.
Here are a few photos from her visit.

That is so cool! What a lucky girl! I am so impressed with the Heartland crew. There is another special event going on in the Heartland neck of the woods near Millarville, AB. They have donated a set visit for 4 people to attend filming of their next season and to meet their human and animal stars!

When will they start Season 6 on GMC. We are currently watching reruns of Season 3. I have bought Seasons 1 through 4 and the Heartland Christmas. I may be an senior citizen, but I think this is the greatest show on all of TV. Please start Season 6 on GMC soon....Please.

I just got hooked on this beautiful show and now our local CW cable station in Columbus, Ohio doesnt have it anymore. I don't know if it got cancelled in our area or we just don't have access. It started showing on Sunday morning rather than Saturday evening The last thing i saw was when Caleb got hurt in the rodeo and then they only showed reruns. Is there any way for our area to view this any longer. I also like Hart of Dixie very well
