Congratulations goes out to Brad and Caroline Heaver of the Baljennie area on winning close to $50,000 on the Battlefords Union Hospital 50/50 enhancement lottery. Brad and his wife Caroline run a large farming operation in Baljennie. They are a happy couple and will certainly use their money where most needed.
The Western Development Museum in North Battleford staff are busy getting the Christmas lights and decorations up for the second annual drive through the village event. Local businesses are sponsoring to help out. Staff plan to open the gates on Nov. 21 in the evening to start off the season.
The Museum Volunteer Association 50/50 Cash for Christmas campaign is now selling tickets. The proceeds will go toward restoring and repairing some older buildings in the village. Club members have tickets.
The gift shop is all decked out and stocked with items for Christmas. If you are a museum member you get a 10 per cent discount.
Work bees are every Friday of the week and are still going well. The volunteers are busy restoring some parts for two antique tractors beside the little stationary engines. A big thank you goes out to all those volunteers who show up to help out. Volunteers are always welcome at the museum.
Hunting seasons have started and the hunters are hoping for a snowfall to make it easier to track the animals. They have to be very careful where they hunt this season as a lot of land is posted for no hunting due to the nasty fall weather. It pays to get permission first. The farmers do not welcome anyone driving all over their fields when there are still crops out.
Our weather has been so changeable all fall, with some chilly days, snow and freezing rain.
