A number of fall and winter activities in the community are now wrapping up. A tasty potluck supper and the final crib meet of the season were held at the Endmoor Drop-in Centre on Tuesday evening. Top crib player of the year was awarded to Doug Harrold. He received a trophy for his win and has his name engraved on the big trophy that stays at the Drop-in Centre. Congratulations to Doug. Lawrence Wilkie came in second. Crib will resume again in October and is open to all interested players.
The Smear card club concluded their card games for the season on Wednesday afternoon at the Endiang Hall. The club plans to resume the card games again next winter.
The Endmoor floor curling club will wind-up their season on Monday at the Endiang Hall. More details on that next week.
Two teams from the Endmoor floor curling club participated in the 16-team bonspiel in Stettler on Thursday. Attending were the teams of Ken Schultz, Ernie Angel, Eleanor Schultz and Della Jones, also Dave and Carol Sisley, Eva Nielsen and Cliff Donald. Although the teams didn’t bring home any prizes they did enjoy socializing and the wonderful hospitality and meal provided by the Stettler club.
The 4-H mock achievement day planned by the Byemoor 4-H Beef Club for Saturday at the arena in Byemoor was cancelled due to the inclement weather. This trial-run gets the calves accustomed to the different surroundings and gives the members an opportunity to practice their showmanship and grooming skills.
The local 4-H club will be hosting the Stettler District 4-H Show and Sale in Byemoor on May 18-19. Mark your calendars for that and come out to support the young 4-Hers and see the results of their year’s work on their projects.
