What is with this weather? One day it is below average temperatures by quite a bit and the next day it is melting. As it warms up the roads get slippery. Last week a semi loaded with cattle molasses headed for Wright Choice Feeds found itself on its side just east of Rabbit Lake. Although it could have been a sticky situation, no one was hurt and the load was righted eventually.
Rabbit Lake was the place to be on March 7 when the Rabbit Lake and District Agricultural Association sponsored its annual snowmobile rally. The day began with 120 people enjoying a pancake breakfast put on by the Rabbit Lake and District Museum board. Right after breakfast registration began and 305 riders took to the trails.
The weather was excellent, hovering just around zero. Finally the day ended with a roast beef supper and the awarding of prizes.
This year the Ag. Associaton is having a 50-50 raffle at the Carlton Trail Jamboree so the early bird ticket was drawn at the rally. There were several door prizes awarded and the Ag. Association appreciates the generosity of the many businesses and individuals who donated the prizes.
Cash winners were: 50-50 early bird for $1,000 was Andrea Calder of Plenty;Â $1,250 went to Shannon Beaulac of Spiritwood; $2,500 went to Randy Tiringer of Spiritwood; and $5,000 went to Doug Vanderkooi of Saskatoon. Additional prizes of $500 went to Carter Freimark and Wade Schmidt.
 From all reports everyone had a good day and it was a success from the Ag. Association’s point of view. Thanks to the Ag. Assoc committee for their time and energy and to everyone who helped in any way.
I know that this is still sometime away but don’t forget the Carlton Trail Jamboree on the first weekend in July.
