MEOTA — How pleasant it is to watch the young woodpeckers drinking at the bird bath., all a new experience for them. they have developed so quickly to full feathers.
The wind has been so strong following the heavy rain that we had earlier this week. My family found driving home to Alberta a stressful experience. However, the wind let up enough for the 17 senior golfers to get out and enjoy themselves June 9. There were no bugs to pester them, either. It was another close match with the winners, after a count back, being Gerry Goodheart, Terrence Dasilva, Elsa Ferguson and Lucille Gregoire.
June 16, 18 golfers turned out and most of them stayed for a potluck lunch. The five teams came in with close scores, but the winning team was Jack Day, Terrence Dasilva, Cora Christiansen and Eric Callbeck.
Meota ADRA craft and trade show is scheduled for July 3, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Meota Community Hall. For information or bookings call Hayley at 306-280-5483.
There has been no word on swimming lessons planned for Meota, but we hope they are being organized and will let us know details, soon.
Many roads in Yellowstone National Park are washed out from the rains and rock slides have occurred so there will be very little tourist traffic this summer. It is one of the most exciting places to visit in the United States and not that far away.
