The Western Development Museum in North Battleford held a dessert and tea get together on April 11, at 3 p.m. It was held to honour the volunteers who have spent the number of hours needed to be a volunteer. Ten-year pins were presented to six members. Fifteen-year pins were presented to 11 members. Twenty-year pins were presented to eight members and thirty-five-year pins presented to only two members, Ida Gillat and Rick Schwab. Stanley Mills was one of the 30-year volunteer members to receive a pin.聽 A big Thank You goes out to all of them for all the volunteer time spent at much needed work. It鈥檚 so great for all the help. They also honoured four volunteers that have passed away in the last year.聽You all will be missed.
The museum monthly work bees continue. The next work bee will be held on Friday April 20, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. for the antique gas tractors volunteers. It is good to see the volunteers turn out as there is always something going on to spend time at. They also are looking for new volunteers to join in.
Get well wishes goes out to Mark Custer聽 He was at home on the farm working with his cattle in the corral at the time of the accident.聽
We are all wondering when our spring weather is really going to be here聽 So far the area has been lucky to miss all the bad weather across our country聽 What mild days we do get our snow and iced is so slowly melting, but it does remain so much below normal temperatures for so many days聽 The farmers are getting anxious to get an early start into the fields聽 For now all they can do is be ready to go when the weather gets fit to go聽 It also has been ever so hard to keep those baby calves out of the chill聽 Most farmers鈥� calves are arriving now. Sounds like this week we are all in for a change as they are forecasting much milder temperatures. It certainly will be welcome by all. We have had enough winter type weather.
