Volunteers were very busy on the days preceding and April 25, the day of what will become Waseca's annual fish fry. Thanks to the volunteers, the event was a great success. The many items donated for the auction sold well under the auctioneering skill of Angus McFadyen. The Waseca Recreation Board, which sponsored the event, were pleased with all the support.
The community barbecue and annual meeting was enjoyed by all present. More volunteers are always needed to carry out community projects.
Following the barbecue, the meeting was called to order, chaired by Rodney Weisner. Reports were heard from the recreation board, the hall board, the community centre, the skating rink, the heritage committee, the volunteer fire department, and the Village of Waseca. Lively discussion followed each report with many ideas brought forward to help each organization. Adjournment of the meeting was made at approximately 3 p.m.
The next big event to be held in Waseca is the annual walkathon sponsored by the Waseca Community Centre. Registration will take place at 9 a.m. Sunday with the walk to begin at 10 a.m. Some new ideas are being used to allow for the participation of young walkers, who will be allowed to use tricycles, bicycles and walkers. The general walk will be from Waseca to the top of the Battle River Hill south of Waseca. Cars and other transportation will be on hand to transport walkers back to the Waseca Community Centre where a barbecue lunch will be available.
The recreation board is now preparing for the Father's Day event.
