MAYFAIR — A few more sunny days before Easter and who knows if most of the snow will have disappeared. School students are eagerly anticipating holidays. Motorists, please be aware of the young children bringing their bikes out from winter storage. Some have outgrown last seasons’s so perhaps are excitedly trying new wheels this time of the year. Not to mention the adults with motorcycles going for joy rides
Easter church services for Mayfair All Saints Catholic Church for this Good Friday are at 6 p.m. and on Easter Day, March 31 at noon. The next three months — April, May and June — the mass time is scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Saturdays.
In Speers, the United Church Easter service is at 8:45 a.m. with communion. There is no Good Friday service at this church this year.
Colleen Wicks still has a few tickets left for their ever-so-popular live theatre in Speers Hall April 19, 20 and 21. Tickets are $50. Please call Colleen at 306-246-2165. This is such a wonderful outing with a delicious home-cooked meal. Many community-minded people work endlessly for us spectators to enjoy.
Sincere condolences to Dale Lehmann and his three sons Dusty, Ashton, Dawson and families of Mayfair on the passing of Maxine last week. They live on a farm near Meeting Lake Community Pasture. The three boys attended Mayfair Central and Hafford School and have moved on to new homes.
Since spring has arrived many communities are planning events. April 13, Borden Museum is having a spring supper at the community centre with admission by donation at the door. Music and other activities follow the meal.
Strawberry spring teas and church bazaars will be cropping up near and far. Not to mention all the gorgeous plants that will be in the nurseries. I can't wait to go shopping for plants and new lawn ornaments when I return to the prairies. “Keep it simple,” I tell myself when it comes to mowing the grass because removing and then putting these ornaments back into place creates more work.
The town of Hafford has noticed an increase in the water consumption. The town office is asking owners to check their properties and any vacant homes. If you notice any "pooling of water" please notify the town office.
Happy blessed Easter to everyone.
