The Borden Community Centre Preservation Committee, who fund many of the renovations in the centre, held a work bee Oct. 5, making 276 dozen potato and cheese perogies that had been pre-ordered. After placing them in many freezers around town, they were frozen, packaged and distributed Oct. 7. Thank you to the many volunteers who came out and helped with this fundraiser.
Oct. 7, was the last day for the Borden Farmers’ Market and, though the weather was cold and snowy, quite a number came out from Saskatoon, Langham, Radisson, Borden and elsewhere to enjoy theiar last hamburger or hot dog served by the United Church and pick up baking for Thanksgiving. The heat was on inside and the fire hall’s big doors were closed, with only the small doors at each end being used. Everyone kept cozy, except for Stew Walton who was outside barbecuing, wearing his snowmobile suit.

The snow has put a halt to harvesting in the Borden area, with a few still having crops out. Some had standing wheat, oats and flax, which are a mess right now. Hopefully the weather will improve, then the farmers have to figure out how to get those standing crops off.
The cross-country meet at Delisle was postponed Oct. 5 due to the weather and it was rescheduled for Oct. 11 with a number of runners from Borden School competing.
