June 1- 7 has been proclaimed Seniors' Week and there are a number of events planned throughout the Town and County of Stettler to mark the occasion.
In Byemoor, seniors of Endiang, Byemoor and surrounding area are invited to the Endmoor Drop-in Centre on June 4 at 2 p.m. for a coffee party. The county is supplying a fruit tray. All seniors are welcome to come out and enjoy a visit, coffee and snacks.
Byemoor was a busy place last Monday and Tuesday as the Stettler District 4-H Show and Sale was in town. Hats off to the organizers from the Byemoor beef club who capably hosted the event.
The Byemoor club champion steer was shown by Shayla Schilling with Denver McComish showing the reserve champion steer.
Members of the Byemoor club this year included Denver McComish, Abby Musgrove, Bailey Musgrove, Natalie Schilling, Zach Schilling, Shayla Schilling, Kallie Stewart, Allison Yates, Erica Yates, Rachel Yates and Ryan Yates.
Congratulations to all the members who won awards and to those who worked hard on their projects and did "Learn to do by doing", the 4-H motto.
More than 300 people enjoyed the tasty roast beef banquet at the Byemoor hall catered by the women of the Byemoor hall board.
The 4-H members enjoyed a successful sale that evening with the average price being $2.59 per pound.
Congratulations to the graduates of William E. Hay Composite High School in Stettler whose graduation ceremonies were held on Saturday.

We wish all the graduates the very best in all they chose to do in life — may all your endeavors be successful and rewarding.

We send birthday wishes and congratulations to a former Endiang resident Ed Kalenith on his 90th birthday. Ed was the guest of honour at an open house hosted by his family at the Stettler community hall on Saturday to celebrate this special milestone.
Ed was raised a mile south of Endiang and spent the early years of his life in our community where he farmed and operated a trucking business before moving to Stettler.
We hope you enjoyed your special day Ed and best wishes for many more happy years.
The Endmoor floor curling club was represented by Ernie Angel, Joan Morrison and Dave and Carol Sisley at the floor curling tournament held in Big Valley last week.
The Jack family spent a few days in Vancouver where Jesse was playing hockey.
Farmers and ranchers are in desperate need of a good soaking rain to end the extended dry spell and give the pastures, hay and grain crops a much needed drink.
Thought for the day — "Whenever there's a huge spill of solar energy, it's just called a nice day."
