GADSBY/WESTWOODS NEWS -- A million dollar rain was a welcome sight Thursday evening with hopes of a wet long weekend.
Found in the Heart Beat Stettler and Area May issue: Home Town Trivia: “In 1970, the Erskine 4H Light Horse Club sponsored a ride-a-thon from Botha to Erskine. What lady took her five children and completed the eighteen mile ride?” The answer was Eleanor Walgenbach (Dahlgren) and her five children were Elva, Neal, Brenda, Cecil and Bonnie. On Saturday May 15, Eleanor joined the family for the first gymkhana of the year in Stettler with 63 entries. She watched family members Tammy, Kayla, Luke Hronek, two-year-old Mia Walgenbach and one-year-old Nash Sorenson participate. When asked, Eleanor said this makes three sets of four generations of gymkhana participants and too many events to try to count.
