Congratulations on reaching these special milestones and best wishes to you both for many more happy birthdays.
Matt Tateson has moved a mobile home on to the former Albert and Rose Abram farm yard. It is nice to see the old farmsteads populated once again by young people. Enjoy your new home, Matt.
A large number of Endmoor folks attended the Big Valley Jamboree in Camrose on the weekend, enjoying their favourite country music stars' performances. It was a good chance to catch up to your friends and neighbours.
