Rumsey Record
Well, as I write this on Monday morning, it is snowing outside and as I am sure everyone feels, it is just a little soon for this weather. But, before you put away all your summer gear, keep in mind that this is typical for a full moon in the fall and our glorious fall has yet to arrive. At least I hope as I still have my garden to empty, and more importantly, the farmers of the area have acres and acres of grain to take off the field.
The roof repair on the curling rink is continuing on nicely. It will take a while to complete, but is going well. Don’t forget if you have a son or daughter that has headed off to post-secondary education that the Ag Society scholarship is available until Sept. 25. The ag society is also looking for someone to train under Deanne Griffith, who is in charge of the lunch counter at the curling rink for her last year with the Ag Society.
As things get started in all the schools in our area, the 4-H beef club will be having their organizational meeting sometime in October, I will have the date for you as it gets closer, but if you have someone who will be interested in joining or know of someone, let Tracey and Melanie Nelson know.
Bob Davidson would like to remind everyone that the Chevelles are playing in Delia on Oct. 4 and he has tickets for sale. Contact him at 403-823-0746 if you love to dance to a great band and support a great fundraiser. They will even have an opening band called the Suit Jacket Society starting at 7 p.m., so you really get your money’s worth.
The Morrin figure skating club is having their organizational meeting this week and welcome all returning and new skaters. If you are interested, call Wendy Cuncannon at 403-772-2287 for more information.
Jill Holowath is in charge of the Morrin school concession this year and will welcome any help from parents and guardians, so give her a call if this appeals to you.
A thought for the week:
It is commonly believed that gardeners are eternal optimists; why else would they bother with an occupation so full of promise, which often remains unfulfilled? – Ursula Buchan.
