Fall arriving too soon

Endiang Enterprise

By Les and Rosemary Stulberg

The drought continues in our area and many crops are being plowed down, pastured or cut for feed.

Some trees are beginning to turn color already, and it’s only July! It appears that it is going to be “next year’s country” again.

Jim and Maureen Wasdal flew to Meadow Lake, Sask. in Jim’s plane for the chuckwagon races there last weekend. They are supporters and fans of long-time friend Neal Walgenbach who was racing there.

Shelly Schellenberg and her twins Dayne and Cole spent a week visiting her dad at Rich Valley, AB. Shelly’s sister was also visiting from Europe.

On July 28, Lee Hunt travelled to DeWinton to pick up her sister-in-law Connie Hunt and they went to celebrate Ruth Hunt’s 92nd birthday at Airdrie. Ruth’s brother Rev. Dick Hunt and his son Tim of Maple Ridge, B.C. also attended the occasion. Congratulations to Mrs. Hunt on marking this milestone and best wishes for many more happy birthdays.

Recent visitors with Fred Gardner were his daughter and granddaughter Cindy and Courtney Bartman of Brooks.
