The Northern Alberta Make a Wish Foundation and the Gord Bamford Fountain welcomed Jace Thorsteinson just recently as their newest Jr. Amassander. They proudly presented Jace with a Tuf Kat award. The Tuf Kat is a metal robotic goat as Jace is still recovering completely from his accident he had over a year ago.

This Tuf Kat is in the shape of a goat and does everything that a goat can do, or a calf so he can keep on practising his roping skills this winter.

Cold temperatures sure is hitting us again with only a few days' break in between. This winter is the coldest we've had for at least a couple of winters now, so who knows what the rest of this winter is going to bring us. Spring, you can come anytime now please.
