BALJENNIE — Western Development Museum volunteers in North Battleford are busy getting stationary engines in running order. Some of the members are also busy polishing up antique cars to run in the parade at History In Motion Aug. 19 and 20, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Heather O’Neal is still looking for volunteers to help out in different categories and programs for the two days.
The corn maze is now open and many are enjoying trying to get lost in it.
The Volunteer Association Inc. has not been active for some time. Does it even exist anymore? It used to be an active group of volunteers.
Due to the long hot spell and little rain, some early harvesting has begun. Most of the haying is complete.
We have been blessed by the small doses of smoke haze from so many forest fires on the go in Western Canada. So far there have not been any fires in the local area. Everyone has to be careful while burning anything.
My husband Stanley Mills and cousin Gordon and Edna Williams of Eston were in the local area visiting with family and friends.
Baljennie Community Cemetery Club members Stanley Mills and Bill and Joan Rayner were at St. Bridget’s Church cemetery to plant makers on unmarked gravesites. Since the club is no longer active, they decided to use leftover funds for the project. Stanley Mills designed and had the markers made. Connie Rayner’s urn was added to the cemetery beside her husband Buster Rayner. Family members were there.
Just had a surprise phone call from Jack Edinborough, a former neighbour. Jack and his family live at Mossbank. His dad, Alf Edinborough, passed away some time ago and his urn is buried on the farm near a landmark known as Pike’s Peak. Brad Heaver owns the land now. Other family members’ urns are also buried there.
