Craft sale to be hosted at Ruddell July 23

Mayfair News: Rabbit Lake Sunrise Circle potluck July 21.

MAYFAIR — Green, yellow and blue dominate the prairie landscape these early July days, thus making driving in the country pleasurable. The canola fields are starting to bloom against the other green crops, trees and grassy background, then the mostly blue skies give a finishing touch.

Saturday, July 23 between 9 a.m. and 5 p.m. Liz and Geordie Smith are holding a craft sale in their yard and shop with five other vendors in the hamlet of Ruddell. It is situated between Denholm and Maymont on Highway 16. Please follow the red anvils in Ruddell for directions.

Who doesn’t like potluck suppers and the chance to visit long lost friends? Thursday, July 21 the Senior Sunrise Circle in Rabbit Lake is the place to be for supper at 6 p.m. This time is to be a little different. You bring a dish of whatever you desire and they l also barbecue hamburger patties for a summer treat. After eating there will be outside games to participate in or watch. Sounds like a good time for us country folk.

Lorena Lafreniere of Mayfair and Bev and Dave Kowerchuk of Rabbit Lake were at their grandchildren’s wedding two weeks ago in the Battlefords. Tanner is Lorena’s grandson and Keegan is Kowerchuk’s granddaughter. The happy couple reside in Lashburn

I was at my cabin on Chamakese Resort Chitek Lake for a few days and all I heard this past weekend were noisy ATVs going up and down my cul de sac. It is mostly the grandpas giving rides to their eager city grandkids. A big thank you to the fellas who lit the sky in array of spectacular colours on July 1, bringing Canada day to a close. These fireworks were sponsored by Pelican Lake First Nation, to whom we cabin owners pay annual lease fees.

Swimming lessons started July 4 at Meeting Lake Regional Park, which is on for two weeks. All of my grandchildren ages five to one are enroled among many other local kids that I know. Lessons at lakes are a different experience compared to those at a swimming pool. When the weather is cool and with many mosquitoes and water bugs, at times the kids get a little cranky. This is when grandparents can step in to help.
