Krissy Jack’s school of dance is presenting its spring dance recital on June 1 at 7 p.m. at the Byemoor Hall. All are welcome, so be sure to come and support the young dancers as they show the results of what they learned in dance this year.
We regret to report Ruthie’s Roost will be closing its doors on May 30. Ruth Ratcliffe has accepted a position at Bragg Creek in her equine training profession. We wish Ruth the best of luck in her new endeavour and thank her for the years of friendly service she gave the community. The café was an important asset to the Endiang community and will be dearly missed, as will Ruth. She contributed in so many ways to our community. She also brought a great deal of good country music entertainment to town.
Hopefully, someone will take over the operation of the café as it is for lease. More information can be obtained by calling Ruth at 403-585-8379.
Sympathy is extended to the family of Cliff Jones who passed away in Stettler at the age of 87 years. His funeral was held last Wednesday in Stettler. Cliff was the last remaining child of the John and Harriet Jones family to pass away. Cliff was born shortly after the Jones family came to the Byemoor district in 1926. He was raised at Byemoor and he and his late wife Muriel farmed there until moving to Galahad. They raised a family of five children. Cliff later retired to Stettler. Our thoughts are with the Jones family in their loss.
