Am I the only person who thinks that the cold weather has been here long enough? It seems to me that it has been cold since Christmas. Can we hope that a cold winter brings a hot summer! Since the groundhog was not very encouraging, lets hope that March comes in like a lion and goes out like a lamb.
Activity in Rabbit Lake seems to have been curtailed by the weather as well. Cowboy church with Rev. Ricky Martin from Prince Albert continues on the first and third Fridays of the month. Attendance has been between 15 and 20 people per service.
Jan. 18 the Rabbit Lake Senior Sunrise Circle organized its monthly music night at the community hall. This time the Amundrud family provided top notch family entertainment to a good -sized crowd. On Feb. 22 Donny Parenteau will be entertaining. The Rabbit Lake Community Hall Board will be providing a roast beef supper for people who have purchased advanced tickets. This is a return visit for Donny. He was very well received when he was here before.
The community hall board sponsored the annual Shrove Tuesday pancake supper at the hall. About 55 people enjoyed the supper that kicked off the Lenten season.
Again, this winter on Wednesdays, the Rabbit Lake Rec Center has its skating, burger and bunnock night.
The Rabbit Lake Library hosts an annual Kaiser tournament. This year it was to be on Jan. 26 but due to the snow storm causing impassable roads the tournament was postponed and rescheduled to Feb 9. Eight tables of players along with some spectators enjoyed the evening. The raffle prize went to Don Petersen. The high man was Dave Kowerchuk, the high lady was Ardes Petersen and the one who came in at the bottom of the heap was Steven Clarkson. The library continues to provide programming. Monday night quilting and the dessert of the month raffle have been popular. The January winner of the dessert was Brayden Moore. According to librarian, Lynn Morrison, additional programming is upcoming.
March 3 is the Rabbit Lake and District Agricultural Association annual snowmobile rally. We have lots of snow so the trail should be a good ride. The day begins at 10 am and ends with a roast beef supper at the community hall. The Annual General Meeting for the Ag Assoc will be held on April 9 at the Rabbit Lake Community Hall.
