Congratulations to Steven and Carla Johnson on the birth of their daughter, Alaina Marie, at the Drumheller hospital on March 6. Alaina weighed six pounds and 10 ounces and is a little sister for Lincoln.
Congratulations also to the local grandparents, Doug and Deanna Johnson.
Three teams of local floor curlers participated in the bonspiel at Castor last Monday. Congratulations to the team of Ken Schultz, Ernie Angel, Carol Sisley and Vi Grams for taking home a prize.
Also participating were Shirley Bates’ team of Bennie Kobi, Carol Stulberg and Jack Grams and Irene Brooker’s team, Dave Sisley, Jim Bates and a Castor curler who filled in for one of the local curlers who couldn’t make it.
All reported a good time enjoying the Castor hospitality.
Rosemary Stulberg spotted a gopher one day last week while driving the school bus. Rather early, considering the amount of snow we still have. He might need to carry a snow shovel with him.
Congratulations to former Byemoor resident Lydia Morlock, who celebrated her 92nd birthday last Saturday. Lydia lives at the Heart Haven Lodge in Stettler. We wish you many more happy birthdays, Lydia.
A note to those who attended Kyle and Janelle Sorensen’s wedding in Stettler last month. Someone grabbed the wrong coat and left a men’s black winter dress coat, size XXL, by mistake.
The brand name is Kenneth Cole New York. So folks, could you please check your closets and see if you have a similar coat there that isn’t yours. Call Kyle at 403-741-7074 to exchange.
