With all the hot weather many people have been spending evenings at the Battle River. There has been a camping spot there for many years and lately it seems to be very popular. We just hope those using it respect the fact that it is on privately-owned land and they should leave it as they found it, "tidy.鈥�
Rhonda and Gary Bankendorf returned on the weekend from a three-week camping trip which took them through the Yukon. They really appreciated all the wonderful scenery.
A cleaning bee will be held at Waseca's Heritage church Saturday, July 18, at 9 a.m. Your help will be much appreciated.
The new swings have been set up at the community park by the recreation board. They hope they will be well used and enjoyed. Our congratulations to Bob and Ada now of Lloydminster who celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary last week. Family including Bev and Vic Hult and family gathered at Bud Miller Park for a noon meal. Lots of visiting took place as guests from many parts, who see each other only on such occasions, had an interesting time together. Bob's sisters, Frieda from New Market, Ont., and Elsie and her son from Oshawa, Ont., as well as Wally and Pat Polinsky were present to help them celebrate. We wish Bob and Ada many more happy years together.
Joyce Jeffrey was honoured by her family on the occasion of her 90th birthday July 11. All her family, Gary, Marilyn and Cheryl and their families gathered at the Waseca Community Centre for the afternoon and an evening meal. Later in the evening neighbours were invited to help in the celebration. A beautiful birthday cake made and decorated by one of her grandchildren was cut and served by the great-grandchildren.
It was a great time for visiting and getting reacquainted.
We wish Joyce a happy, healthy future.
