Looks like we are in for nasty weather this coming week. Yikes. Snow will reach our area, melt and hopefully Indian Summer will give us a few weeks of decent weather. Got your winter gear ready to wear just in case you might need it?
CanPhill Apiaries from Spiritwood are renting the Mayfair arena kitchen to process their honey. This business consists of five fellows who work full time. The bee business is a second income for these recent immigrants.
Eventually they plan to expand their sites to the Mayfair area, so next year one will not have to travel far to purchase honey at a reasonable price. If you did not buy any when Emerson Tablason rented a table at the recent Mayfair farmers’ market, call 1-306-883-8308 or find CanPhill Apiaries on Facebook.
Maymont was fortunate to have Jim Beaudoin entertain this past Saturday to a large enthusiastic crowd. He grew up on a farm near Maymont and has many relatives and friends who still reside in the area.
A delicious roast beef supper was served before the show, so it made a nice evening out. I was surprised at how many people from Alberta travelled for this event. Jim goes to Nashville to cut his CDs and there were plenty to purchase that evening. On the way home the sky was constantly lit up by the lightning and torrential rain kept the windshield wipers extra busy. We received almost one inch in our yard.
Mona Bruynooghe gave an interesting talk on Operation Christmas Child this past Saturday at Crandleberry’s Restaurant. People from various clubs attended, as did four of us from Mayfair’s Save a Third World Child. We plan to fill the colourful shoe boxes supplied by Samaritan’s Purse. These are usually distributed around Christmas to poor children who do not get gifts. A free of $7 per shoebox helps cover the shipping, administrative and ministry costs associated with this cause. Sending a box that size to Â鶹´«Ã½AV America would cost approximately $120. Through bulk transportation discounts and the help of thousands of volunteers, the shipping costs are reduced. For more information go online to . The Alliance Church on Territorial Drive has shoeboxes for interested individuals or groups who would like to participate in this rewarding program and once filled, these boxes can also be dropped off the third week in November at the Alliance Church.
