Manhunter fundraiser was great fun

Close to 200 participants were registered in the first Man Hunter fund raiser at the Circle Square ranch on Saturday.

Close to 200 participants were registered in the first Man Hunter fund raiser at the Circle Square ranch on Saturday.  There were three categories.  The family fun race, with the largest number of contestants, began at 10 a.m.  The second group included the teens, aged 12 to 15 and the last group out were the adults, 16 and up.  The object of the game was to cross the finish line before being captured by the mounted horseback riders/ hunters.  Shane and Brook Doan, Kevin Perry, Justin Quantz, Wes and Kaden Copof were the hunters.  There was a concession stand and the ranch staff also served food to the runners.  Shane Doan from the Arizona Coyotes and the Mantracker series and his brother Brook, who also appeared on ManTracker, signed autographs during the day.  Said to be lots of fun – sounds like a keeper.

The grades 1, 2 and 3 classes went on a field trip to Red Deer on Wednesday.  They visited the SPCA shelter for a tour and got to make a toy for a kitten.  Then it was off to the Collicut centre for activities.  Ms. Hutmaucher is their teacher.

Our congratulations go out to Lowell and Janette Berry who celebrate their 65th wedding anniversary on June 23.

Congratulations to Mikenna Schauer, who qualified this week for the NJHFR ( National Jr. high finals rodeo) to be held in Des Moines, Iowa later this summer.  Tori Brower from Gadsby also qualified.
