It's Archives Week in North Battleford. Planned for the week are displays at the two malls. Friday, the City of North Battleford Historic Archives will host a digital presentation and display at the Frontier Mall from noon until 5 p.m. in celebration of Saskatchewan Archives Week. Saturday, they will set up at the Territorial Place Mall, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The digital display is entitled Way We Were. It will be a look at historical clothing, furniture, sports, entertainment and leisure activities. Volunteer committee members will be on hand both days to walk visitors through the displays and answer questions. They will also feature a short display on the city's past 2013 centennial year celebrations. This is the sixth year the City of North Battleford Historical Archives has set up their displays and information booths at North Battleford's two community malls. The City of North Battleford Historic Archives collects historic papers, documents and photographs depicting the history of the city and is dependent on its citizens for material. This week's presentations will give the archives committee members an opportunity to thank all who have already contributed and an opportunity to invite citizens of North Battleford to donate further. Most importantly, says the Saskatchewan Council for Archives and Archivists, the presentations will inform the public about the archives and its role in preserving historical documents and photographs. If you'd like more information, call the city archives at 306-445-1786.

Saturday is the day of St. Paul's Roast Beef Supper, a fundraiser for Baja Mission 2014. There are only 100 tickets, so if you haven't got yours yet, you better phone 306-445-4155 or 306-445-4645 to see if there are any left. The doors open at 5:30 p.m. at St. Paul's Anglican Church Hall and supper is at 6 p.m. A silver collection will be taken for the mission trip. The upcoming Baja Mission trip takes place June 21-30, when parishioners from the Diocese of Saskatoon will travel to Baja Mexico to build three houses in a poor community.

At the Battleford United Church on Saturday, look for a home business trade show. A variety of items will be showcased, including fashionable jewelry, clothing and home decor. There will also be prizes and snacks. Admission is free. For more information call 306-446-6110.

Club 70 is getting together Saturday for an evening of dancing at the North Battleford Legion Hall. Music will be provided by Cherokee Rose. The dance will run from 8 p.m. to midnight. The entrance price of $15 includes a lunch. Everyone is welcome.
