ALIDA - Big brother Liam McNish was proud to welcome his baby sister, Layla Rae to the family on Oct. 13. Congratulations to Liam and of course to her parents Justin and Kara McNish, as well as to her grandparents Tim and Trudy Boettcher and great-grandparents Jim and Mary Boettcher.
The Alida community extends sincere sympathy to Jean Ball on the death of her daughter Candis Burley on Oct. 13 at the age of 45 years at a hospital in Victoria, B.C. Candis will always be remembered by her mother Jean, brothers Aaron, Kenny and Garrett (Natasha), as well as her children Hunter, Cole and Tabyn.
She was predeceased by her dad, Garnet (Sept.3/21), grandparents, Ernie/Edie Ball, and Melvin/Dorothy Loseth. No other details are known at this time.
This coming weekend is the first couple of evenings for the 2021 Alida Haunted House and the murder-mystery room. All our ghosts, ghouls, witches, clowns, eerie scary creatures, etc. have arrived and are almost settled into their domain and of course are ready to welcome you all to their haunted dwellings at the Alida Rink.
Remember you enter at your own risk and by all means do try to remain brave as you ready yourself to tour through the haunted halls of terror, only if you are, of course. Just a reminder that some COVID rules apply – must be vaccinated, have proof of vaccination and wear a mask. All of our volunteers and spooks are vaccinated and wearing a mask.
If you’re interested in visiting the murder-mystery room, please remember to call Shelly at 306-485-7023 to book a slot for you to entre and try to solve the mystery that will allow you to escape the room.
If you’re unable to visit us now, don’t fret or worry, just come sometime during the last three days of October.
Don’t forget the annual fun fair is also on Sunday afternoon for all our young people to come visit – have lots of fun and try their luck at all the games available. There’s also things for adults to do, or have a cup of coffee and visit with others. Prizes and treats for all.
Remember to wear your Halloween costume too. The haunted house guests will not be there during the fun fair and lights are always on for anyone who may wish to tour the area while the spooks are all asleep.
Alida’s Take-Out Fall Supper which is happening on Nov. 7 from Alida Hall. Pre-order and pre-pay for supper by Nov. 1 by calling Sheri at 306-485-7380 or visit Linda at the Post Office.
