Among the Maidstone High School volleyball players are Josie Weisner and Ashley McFaydyen, both from Waseca.
This weekend was a busy one for volleyball, as the Mega Volleyball Tournament was held in Maidstone. Teams from all over the province, an estimated 30 to 40 teams came to take part. The tournament began Friday and continued throughout the weekend. Both the elementary and high school gyms and the skating rink were used for the event, both day and night as many of the players brought sleeping bags and slept in the gyms. Next weekend the Junior Mega Ball Tournament will take place in Maidstone.
Congratulations to Leah (Snell) and Lyle Frisken on the birth of their first child, a baby boy. Leah and Lyle live in Saskatoon. Renee and Morris Donovan, great-aunt and great-uncle, visited their new great-nephew, who now will be two weeks old.
The Waseca Memorial Hall board met one evening last week to finalize plans for the annual Waseca fall supper which will be held Nov. 1. This should be quite an occasion as it is the 75th anniversary for the Waseca Hall board suppers. Lots of volunteers will be needed for this event.
Other discussion at the meeting centred on the new furnace that is to be installed in the hall at the beginning of the new year. Grants have been applied for so the financial aspect of the installation is in place.
I noted some gravelling has been done on Waseca streets and that new flags have been raised at the cenotaph.
The village council is planning to do some much needed work at the cenotaph which also needs to have its plaques updated.
