The River Valley RV Park musicians held an evening of country music in the Borden Seniors’ Room Aug. 13. Eight musicians took turns singing and playing a number of oldies and gospel songs including one interesting tune, the Barnyard Two-Step, which involved rolling up your apparel to miss the animal wastes.

There were seven sets of each doing two songs, then a coffee break followed by seven more sets. The group stay in the RV Park at Langham for the summer and all go south for the winter where they get together and play. Admission was $1 and they donated $80 back to the Borden Seniors’ Club from the two times they have played here.

They will be the featured entertainment at the Borden Seniors’ potluck supper and birthdays Aug. 26.                                                                                                                        

The Borden Lions Club held their annual barbecue Aug. 14 at the home of Bob and Anne Wardhaugh.

The Lions paid special tribute to Murray and Noni Taylor, who were moving to Moose Jaw Aug. 17. Murray grew up here and, except for a stint in the navy, has always lived here. He was a founding member of the Borden Lions Club, serving in the different chairs and as District Governor. A bouquet of flowers was given to Noni and a membership in the Moose Jaw Lions Club was given to Murray.

After the roast pork supper, a special cake wishing the couple best wishes was cut and served with fresh fruit for dessert. With Bob Wardhaugh playing accordion, everyone sang For They are Jolly Good Fellows and Auld Lang Syne.

Then the clackers were distributed and with Anne Wardhaugh using her Celtic drum; a number of tunes were played to end the evening around the campfire.
