MEOTA — Here we are well into harvest and it is good to see many fields have been harvested. The recent showers have slowed progress, but it bodes well for spring moisture.
We must take time to thank Mary Shury for restarting the Meota monthly bulletin of “What’s Happening.” It takes a concentrated effort to provide us with this calendar of events and to give us much-appreciated humour with her jokes. Kudos to Mary.
As we approach Sept. 27, we find our Scandinavian contingent planning for their annual trek to Minot, N.D. For the Hostfest. It’s within a day's drive for good wholesome entertainment.
Our loyal Sask Roughrider fans were given an appreciated hard-fought game against the Blue Bombers in the Labour Day Classic to provide us with a win. What was looking to be a dismal season with key injuries is giving us room to cheer.
The fall Lions bottle drive yielded good returns. Thanks to all who contributed so the Lions can continue with their community projects. The current project is a preschool children’s playground.
The seniors held their first meeting of the season chaired by Vivianne Lesko. It was decided to hold Norwegian Whist on alternate Wednesdays in the afternoon.

Repairs are underway with the guidance of Bob Zurowski. There will be a flu clinic held at the Do Drop In Oct. 23 in the morning.
