In my last news report 鈥淧reserving heritage property an important priority鈥� (Regional Optimist Oct. 25) there was a mistake. The donation Stanley Mills made to the Fred Light Museum Eagle Hills Blacksmith Shop was a Canadian Blower blacksmith forge.
The harvesting has gone well with lovely sunny days to dry things out, but there are still a few fields not finished. Some farmers are busy baling the straw before winter does hit the area. After the week or so of fine weather it is starting to change back to showers to wet everything down again. Let鈥檚 hope Mother Nature holds on for another week or so, but Mother Nature has a mind of her own. The farmers just have to work with her.
The last work bee on gas tractors at the Western Development Museum in North Battleford did not have a very good turnout of volunteers due to many of them involved in the finishing the harvesting. There has been a work crew from Saskatoon finishing the steam train engine project. It has been repainted plus some work has been done on the assorted boxcars and flat cars behind the engine. Museum staff have been busy decorating for the Christmas to light up the drive through the village. Some sponsors are coming in to decorate before the weather gets nasty.
Nov. 2, Daylight Savings Time comes to an end and it is back to winter hours, but at least the better part of Saskatchewan does not change. Some travel and TV times will change, however.
Hunting season has been on for a while for birds and big game. The season goes on for a while yet. So take care and watch for the hunters. At least now more fields are cleared of crops, but watch out for no hunting signs as there are some out there. Happy hunting to all.
