Summer is all about been in nature’s wonderland ‑  campfires, boating, fishing, sun tanning, building sand castles on the beach and the list goes on and on. A growing sport is kayaking. The provincial and regional campsites are booked quickly. There are even privately owned campsites that are known by word of mouth. It is a nice relaxing family activity as each camping experience is making memories, especially for children.
The Blue Sky Country Boys band was a no show for the Rabbit Lake live entertainment June 25. Brandon P. was supposed to be the opening act, but filled the evening by himself thrilling that small crowd with his great voice and guitar playing skills. He did a splendid job as we got two breaks to have coffee and dessert. Brandon drove from near Regina which is a six-hour drive. He is one of the most promising young Saskatchewan entertainers singing original music and older country classics. A big thank you to Jim and Elaine Tompkins who spend many hours searching for an affordable night in a small thriving village. We appreciate their commitment to bringing live music into the community hall. Too bad the crowd wasn’t larger.
Leanne and Stephen Cherwinski attended their grandson Jayce’s Grade 12 graduation in Calgary last week. He is the oldest son of Carla (Kelly) Soucy, who have resided in Calgary for more than a decade. With COVID restrictions lifting , the timing is perfect as they haven’t seen one another in almost a year.
Local graduations in Hafford that involve grandparents and some local Mayfair people include Ty Duybk, son of Tanya and Chad. His grandparents are Ervin and Cindy Lavallee. Also graduating is Joan and Gordon’s granddaughter Gillian. Among those honoured is Tristen Nesseth, son of Aaron (Pam) and grandson to Arnold Nesseth. Neil Striga’s son Kyle is also amongst the 2021 Hafford graduating class. All of the above parents had connections with graduating from Mayfair Central School. All the best to all of the students who will be starting a new chapter in their lives.
Happy Canada Day everyone and let’s show respect for all cultures that are woven into our wonderful country. Put our differences aside. Stay safe.
