I know the farmers will be breaking out the equipment and getting into the fields soon if not already.
The Rumsey Ag society would like to send out a big thank you to all the support they received last Saturday at the Spring Fling supper and Dessert Auction. They raised close to $10,000 just at the live auction, I didn’t have a final total from the supper and silent auction so that will just add to the pot. This money is used in so many ways to support the buildings, grounds and projects on the agenda; it will all be put to good use. It was a very entertaining live auction as always, so I would like to send a big thank you from the Ag Society and community to Travis Cawiezel, Craig Cawiezel and Allen Avramenko for their willingness to work up a good sweat when drumming up that final bid.
The next Ag Society event will be the Sports Days in July. I will let you know more about that closer to the date.
The field day for the 4-H Beef club was successful. The calves and kids had some fun, learned a few things and enjoyed the sunshine. They will be calling around the neighborhood soon for their big fundraiser, which is the bottle and battery drive. This is the club’s one and only fundraiser for the year.
The historical society is getting closer and closer to their deadline for story submissions. Please remember that your story is important and only will help enhance the quality of the finished book. If you have any trouble putting your thoughts to paper, stop in at the library on Wednesdays and I would love to help you put it all together. Another thought: when you sit down to write your history, add in the little stories of things that happened in your family, events on the farm, milestones, all make for more interesting reading for your future generations. World events, national and political changes, environmental changes can trickle down to have an effect sometimes on what may have happened in your personal history.
Joke of the week, enjoy:
Mrs. Swanson declined to serve on the jury because she was not a believer in capital punishment and didn’t want her beliefs to get in the way of the trial. “But, Madam,” said the public defender, who had taken a liking to her kind face and calm demeanor, “this is not a murder trial. It is merely a civil lawsuit being brought by a wife against her husband. He gambled away the fifteen thousand dollars he’d promised to spend on a chinchilla coat for her birthday.” “Hmmm,” reflected Mrs. Swanson. “Okay, I’ll serve, I could be wrong about capital punishment.”
Have a good week.
