If the calendar doesn’t signal autumn is here, then sharing the road with harvest equipment and school buses should. Harvest is in full swing with field peas being cleaned up and other crops being swathed. As I have said before, the farm is where our food comes from and the farmers are the ones who produce it. Keep it safe and here’s hoping there is a good harvest for everyone.
Congratulations to Ashley Sorenson and Clinton Dies who were married Aug. 20 at Crescent Beach on Meeting Lake. The reception and dance were held at Meeting Lake Regional Park. Ashley is the daughter of Ken and Barb Sorensen of Mullingar and Clinton is the son of Wes and Barb Dies of Crescent Beach.
Aleah McNabb is making quite a name for herself. Like her parents and siblings, Aleah enjoys sports. She especially enjoys curling and softball and has had considerable success in both. Aleah played with the Prince Albert Aces (13- to 14-year-old division) and won the provincials in Prince Albert in July. This qualified them to compete in the nationals in Winnipeg, Man. in August. This summer Aleah played on the Zone 7 softball team in the Saskatchewan Summer Games in Estevan and competed for the bronze medal against Regina. Unfortunately Regina took home the medal. Congratulations, girls, and congratulations, Aleah.
Get well wishes go to Bev Kowerchuk. We hope to see you home soon and feeling a whole lot better.
Rabbit Lake Community Hall was a busy place Aug. 26, 27 and 28. The Rabbit Lake Quilters hosted a quilting retreat that was attended by 23 quilters. Participants came from Saskatoon, Spiritwood, Meota, Martensville, Prince Albert, North Battleford and Leoville to join with the Rabbit Lake crew for a busy few days. Some of the projects that were undertaken were applique quilts, bias cut quilt, denim quilts and scrap quilts. One participant chose to scrapbook rather than quilt.
Meeting Lake Regional Park has closed for the season. It is very different there after the many camping units have disappeared and the hustle and bustle is done for another year. The park seemed to be very full and very busy over the summer so hopefully it was successful financially as well.
