MAIDSTONE — Show & Shine 2024 was enjoyed by many on May 28. With 46 vehicles on display, good food and beautiful weather, visitors had a lot to take in. Pine Island Lodge thanks Lloydminster Auto Club and Lloydminster Just Kruzin Specialty Vehicle Club for an entertaining show which also included several local vehicles and one from North Battleford. Turtleford and District Co-op at Maidstone provided the barbecue, Maidstone Health Care Auxiliary ran the dessert booth and raffles, prize donations came from Maidstone AG Foods, Maidstone Pharmacy, Lou’s and Sue’s, Sunny’s and PIL families, and all the staff and many volunteers came out to assist in making the day a success. Proceeds go to the Pine Island Lodge activities fund to provide residents with handi-van trips and activities to help them stay active.
Congratulations to Maidstone High School athletes who broke records during the district track meet in Meadow Lake: Alyssa – bantam girls 100 m and Olivia – junior girls quad.

Maidstone Girl Guides groups are winding down for the summer. Sparks and Embers had a wonderful time at their year-end day camp at Graham Town (a western town northwest of Lloydminster) on May 25. Activities included learning about and riding horses, a wagon ride, petting animals, costume dress-up, eating yummy food and much more. They loved it. Guides went to Champetre County (a Wild West themed ranch near St. Denis,) where they had a fun cabin stay and enjoyed trails, a maze, outdoor games, a campfire and animals. They can’t wait to go back. There are still lots of Girl Guide cookies available. Please contact Hayley 306-218-0172.
Maidstone Pharmacy has a new owner – Dana Karlson, an experienced pharmacist and business owner for over 20 years. We’re excited to welcome him to our community. We’re also pleased to learn that while Michelle Jesse has stepped down as owner, she will still be serving us in the pharmacy. Michelle has worked hard to give us excellent service for the past 13 years and certainly deserves a less demanding lifestyle. Thank you, Michelle, for all you’ve done for our community.
