Deepest sympathy is extended to Kevin and Carol Bonner and their family on the death of Carol’s sister, Starr Szoradi, on March 8. Starr was a resident of Elkwood Manor at Elkhorn.
Tiffany and Lexi Brown participated in the Yorkton Rockfest Prairies Singles curling weekend. Congratulations to Tiffany who placed 3rd in the U15 individual competition. Participants were given tickets to attend the Brier in Regina, and Lexi and Tiffany enjoyed that event and meeting some of the curlers.
Several others from our community also took advantage of attending the Brier when it was so close, while others of us called all the shots from our couches. Some of those shots made were simply amazing.
The U18 Bruiskies, of which Baylie Bryant of Miniota and Kenna Bryant of Virden are team members, placed third in their league. Congratulations to the Bruiskies!
Enid Haines flew to Calgary to spend the weekend with Barb Haines, Lee and Jesse who had travelled from Peace River, Alta. for Lee to participate in a swim meet. Congratulations to Lee and a proud grandma on his showing!
The Miniota Fire Department held their annual fishing derby on a beautiful day this past Sunday at Hooper’s Lake. The weather was perfect for all ages to participate, plus lots of fellowship enjoyed in the sun.
