ALIDA - A reminder that this coming weekend, Oct. 22 and 23, are the first two days of our haunted house, zombie maze and escape rooms event. For further information call or text Shelly at 306-485-7023.
The Alida community is saddened to have to say farewell to Paul and Marina Poulsen, who have decided to leave their farm here at Alida and move back to their original stomping grounds in Yorkton in order to be closer to members of their own family. Best of luck Paul and Marina in your new home.
A very dear friend of mine and former neighbour from Redvers, Shirley Hansen, passed away on Oct. 8 at Sunset Haven in Carnduff at the age of 84. Shirley will be remembered by her husband Erik Hansen, son Robert (Valerie), four grandchildren and their families, three sisters and numerous nieces and nephews. A memorial service was held at Dannevirke Lutheran Church in Redvers on Oct. 15 with interment at the Dannevirke Cemetery. Condolences are extended to the Hansen families.
Visiting a couple of days with Joey and Prudent Mailhiot was her sister Lois Stokke (Kronau). The sisters attended the funeral for Shirley Hansen. Edel Cowan and Brenda Lemieux also attended the funeral.
Shelly Cowan and daughter Ainsley were in Minot on Oct. 15 to visit the Nilsen family and pick up some Halloween or Fun Fair supplies.
Our local fall suppers were cancelled the past two years. I have surely missed those delicious suppers and scrumptious desserts. This year the Alida Recreation Board members have decided to host a fall supper again at the Alida Memorial Hall on Nov. 6. I sure hope we’ll see you there.
Please remember to keep me posted on any interesting happenings in Alida or with your family. Your assistance is greatly appreciated and helps to keep this column interesting. Text or call me at 306-485-8561.
