The Western Development Museum in North Battleford had a busy work bee day last week. They had a good turnout of volunteers and did get a few things finished up, but there is always more to be done. Every Friday from now on there will be work bees at the museum in order to be ready for Those Were The Days in August. Any volunteers who care to come out to help are most welcome. Hours are 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Birthday greetings go out to Vernon Custer of River Heights Lodge in North Battleford formerly from Baljennie. July 1, Vernon celebrated his 97th birthday.
The annual clean-up day was held at the Baljennie St. Bridget’s Cemetery grounds. A big thank you to all those eager to volunteer to get the job done for another season.
It’s almost saskatoon berry picking time, if there are any about to pick. They seem to be less and less every year. Just beware of black bears while out tramping through the bush. They are hungry, too, and like a good feed on the nice fresh berries, as there is not much else about for them to feast on.
We are having typical hot July weather. With the heat waves it does not feel too good. It’s quite dry in the area and we need a good rain. There has been the odd thunderstorm and light rain fall, but we do need more. Crops are hanging in there.
