The Miniota Hall has been opened all winter, every Monday, Wednesday and Friday between 10 and 11 a.m. by Trudy Watters. She faithfully drives from her home at Arrow River in all kinds of weather so people can come indoors and walk safely out of the slippery conditions and wind, for only a toonie with an average of 4 people. Bring your walking shoes and water and walk with us and have a visit, also. Thanks to the C.C. for the use of the building.
