Largest Halloween dance ever hosted at Westwoods Agriplex

The 90th annual Omega Circle Bazaar was held on Saturday afternoon with 110 adults and 26 children. The traditions started in 1920, after World War One with a tea and bake sale. Fancy work was added to the bazaar with knitting, tatting and sewing. Aprons were fought over! It is a great event for those who have moved away, to come home and visit with old friends. This year was no exception. It was great to see Elva (Walgenbach) McAllister, Joanne Robinson and the Starling sisters to name a few. Results of the draws are in the paper.

Grandparents John and Betty Anne Cassidy are pleased to welcome grandson Kayne John Shingoose into the family, Kayne was born in Red Deer Hospital weighing 7 lbs., 8 ozs. Congratulations to parents Shannon and Kyle Shingoose and family. Great-grandparents are Aleta and Charlie Cassidy and Phyllis Robinson.
