Cash and ham bingo on Saturday night at the Bank Building saw 25 players, five hams won, Paul Dietrich carry out the Easter door prize and a safe loonie pot for next month.
Doreen Reynolds was back just in time for bingo. She and her friend Mary from Calgary flew on March 29 to Mesa, Arizona.
Some of the highlights of the trip were the beautiful Salt Lake Canyon; Tortilla Flats; the breathtaking Botanical Gardens (hundreds of cacti in bloom); the huge farmer’s market that spans one and a half miles, with everything imaginable and, of course, the warm temperatures, 84 to 93 degrees Fahrenheit.
They arrived back in Calgary April 18 in time for the, hopefully, last snow storm of the season.
