Another successful fall supper hosted by the Meota Lakeshore Lions found 365 people turn out to enjoy their tasty meal of ham and turkey and all the trimmings and the many desserts to choose from. Visiting with their neighbors was the icing on the cake. This annual event just gets more popular all the time. Appreciation and a hearty thank you goes out to all who donated in any way and to the many helpers in the kitchen and the clean up crew, who all did amazing jobs, making it an evening that everyone could enjoy.
The store hours in Meota are now 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. through the week and 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sunday.
I need to mention what great people there are in Meota. When our extra family were home they used the local hotel, Hannah’s Bed and Breakfast, Iverson’s Bed and Breakfast and some local homes, all very satisfactorily and very much appreciated, too. I hear endless praise also for the local café, especially for their soups, which at noon can be a complete meal. We hope some of the local folks enjoyed our fireworks Saturday evening, I know I really did.
This year they expect to have four million people visit Yellowstone Park in Wyoming. It is indeed one of my favorite places to tour. I went twice in the last two years, but missed this year.
The cats are still being pesty at the bird feeder. One tabby last week was swinging as he hung onto the feeder. There’s also a black and white one and a Siamese. They are not very popular here.

How good it is that the Battlefords Agricultural Society now owns the Agriplex building and can make plans to use it more often. The land it sits on still belongs to the City and is being leased to them.
Rose Marie Nyholt was up from Saskatoon recently and visited her many friends in Meota. She spent a nice afternoon with Beulah Corbiel. Also to see Beulah was her niece from Turtleford, Paula Seabrook. These visits are appreciated so much since Beulah isn’t as active as she once was.
Work continues at Wind River Condos as the floor joists are starting to be laid out. Once the floor is laid and walls up progress becomes more visible. The doors are now installed at the new village workshop and it looks really great.

Remember that there’s open house at the library on Saturday, Oct. 24, from 2 to 4 p.m. Let’s have a good turnout for this to show our support for such an important service in our village.
I finally got to spend part of an hour watching the northern lights Saturday night about 3 a.m. I have seen them when they were more colorful, but they were quite active and the morning air not too cold and I loved it.
Robert and Marion Iverson of Meota had their grandson Jason Neville and his wife Debra and their children Jaycy and Hannah visiting over the weekend. They have moved from Cochrane, Alta. to Humboldt, so now will be able to come more often.
