ALIDA - What an amazing event on Oct. 21. Lynette’s Day was a memorial event held at the Peet farm.
There were more than 400 guests, a super program with many tributes being given, a barbecue and potluck supper, and, of course, much visiting among everyone. It will be a day to remember and to treasure.
“Family ... where life begins and love never ends” and “Every story has an end, but in life, every end is a new beginning”. Members of both the Peet family and the Holland family were in attendance.
Jeff Cowan arrived Oct. 20, and spent a few days here in Alida visiting the Cowan family and helping set up the sound system at the Peets. He attended the event on Oct. 21 and returned to Regina the following day.
Bob Harrison of Sylvan Lake, Alta., accompanied his daughter Betty-Jo DeJong of Lashburn for the Oct. 21 weekend, where they attended Lynette’s Day and renewed acquaintances around town. They also visited with family from Estevan while here and Betty-Jo enjoyed the Haunted House Maze as well.
Sadie Potapinski of Vermilion, Alta., and Cordelia Patton of Saskatoon were home for the weekend to visit their families and also to attend the memorial event. They left for their student homes on Oct. 23 but unfortunately became snowbound in Regina for a while.
Leonard and Lil Patton attended a couple of hockey games in Estevan where they watched their grandson Keagan Patton play one game on Friday night and one on Saturday with the Estevan U18 AA team.
The Alida Haunted House Maze held their first weekend on Oct. 22, which saw just under 100 people touring through the maze, and some of them also tackled the escape rooms. The following day, we had 60 visiting – a great turn out for the first go around this year. We had guest from Carnduff, Oxbow, Carievale, Redvers, Kipling, Wawota, Lampman, Estevan, Lashburn and even Vermilion. The event continues Oct. 28 and 29 and don’t forget the fun fair on Oct. 30 with lots of activities for the kids and the maze won’t be as scary. Hope we see you at the rink, even if it’s just to see the amazing décor.
