On a very hot Aug. 22nd, Maymont Seniors hosted 18 people from Borden and nine from Radisson for an afternoon program and supper. Kay Greenslade welcomed everyone and introduced the musical entertainment lined up for the afternoon. Playing a variety of old favourites were Walt Dumont, Vern Hawkness and Dave Hiebert of Hafford, Tom Caldwell, Mel Daegnon and Bert Carpenter from Maymont and Howard Bulmer of Richard.
After the first set, Kay told some jokes, Sarah Beaudoin and Elsie Vogeli had readings, then 10 door prizes were drawn for, followed by Howard Bulmer singing a few songs including some yodelling. Marion Doehl of Maymont sang two pieces. The musical group entertained with a few more songs, the rest of the door prizes were given out, and the 50/50 dart thrown at the pie plate hit the names of Henry Derksen of Borden and Lily Moskalyk of Radisson, each winning $10.
A cold plate supper with angel cake, strawberries and ice cream for dessert was enjoyed by all. Extending thanks from their respective clubs were Louise Clark from Radisson and Lorraine Olinyk from Borden.

The Borden Lakeland Library held a fundraiser at the Borden sports ground Aug. 24 with a wiener and marshmallow roast at 7 p.m. over an open fire. James Steele played his fiddle for a number of tunes such as Red River Jig, Emma Lake Two Step and Orange Blossom Special, and then at dusk the outdoor double feature movie started. There was popcorn and drinks to purchase. The first movie, Rio, was an animated film about a tropical bird that goes to Rio de Janerio to be paired up with a female so their breed won't become extinct and about all his adventures there. The second film was called Marley and Me and is a romantic comedy about a puppy and his adventures.
