A growing sport is kayaking. The provincial and regional campsites are booked quickly. There are even privately owned campsites that are known by word of mouth. It is a nice relaxing family activity as each camping experience is making memories, especially for children. The Blue Sky Country Boys band was a no show for the Rabbit Lake live entertainment June 25. Brandon P. was supposed to be the opening act, but filled the evening by himself thrilling that small crowd with his great voice and guitar playing skills. He did a splendid job as we got two breaks to have coffee and dessert. Brandon drove from near Regina which is a six-hour drive. He is one of the most promising young Saskatchewan entertainers singing original music and older country classics. A big thank you to Jim and Elaine Tompkins
Shirley was always a busy person, working outside with her cattle, so hopefully she can put her feet up and dream about them. Dawn, her sister, lives in that area and her only brother, Jack Day, frequently visits. His son Owen owns Mont Nebo store. With many people not wanting to shop in larger areas because of COVID-19, Owen’s sales have gone up tremendously. Nothing like supporting the businesses in one’s own area. Sad to hear Sarah Beaudoin of Maymont passed away at the age of 100 years. She was a remarkable woman, always giving back to her community. Sarah kept up with the times in this ever-changing world and was interesting in what activities the young were involved in. She lived one block away from her daughter before moving into River Heights Lodge, North Battleford. Condolences to the Beaudoin family.
