Thanks to some thunderstorms, hail and a day of rain, the world around me is greening up. I hope you can say the same for your yard and fields as well.
The Rumsey Sports Days were a huge success with 16 teams competing on the field and having a lot of fun. The winners of the A final were TJ and Mitch Herds team from Rumsey beating out Denver Hodges team in a close competition. Jason Morgan’s team from Trochu won the B final and Derek Krywcun’s team won the C final. Thanks to all the teams who came to play and enjoy the weekend in our little hamlet.
The Homestead Museum in Drumheller on the Dinosaur Trail next to the hospital will be celebrating its 50th anniversary on Saturday, July 25 with a big open house for everyone to attend.
It will run from 10 in the morning to 4 p.m. with a beef on the bun lunch from 11 to 2 and the cake cutting at noon. There will be interactive displays of old time events such as rope-making, clothes washing and other chores we don’t even give a thought to these days; live music, bumper boats, cotton candy, mini-doughnuts, popcorn. This is your chance to take a walk back in history. The Murray House General Store will also be open and it is a really great place to find some very uniquely beautiful gifts for yourself or someone special in your life.
The STARS Ride is also fast approaching. Mark your calendars for Aug. 9 where you can take in a lot of fun events and support a great cause.
We are still missing several "special" anniversary pictures for our history book. Looking for "50th" or over anniversary pictures. Thank you to those who have already sent theirs in. You can email them to rumseyhistorybook@hotmail.com or contact Dariel at 368-2120.
Hope you enjoy this little joke:
A university student is walking along with his bike when another university student walks up to him and goes “Nice bike. Where did you get it?”
The first student says, “The other day, this beautiful woman ran up to me with this bike, threw it on the ground, ripped off all her clothes and said ‘Take anything you want!’”
The first student says, “So I took the bike”.
The second student says, “Good choice. The clothes probably wouldn’t have fit”.
Have a great week.
