MEOTA — Saturday, June 17 the core group from Louisiana Hayride will be performing at the Meota Community Complex, hosted by Meota Lakefront Paddle and Sail.
Tickets are selling fast now but we still have some left. Call Elaine Iverson at 306-892-2229 to reserve your seats. All proceeds are going to Meota Lakefront Paddle and Sail. The facility is in desperate need of new windows and patio doors on the lake side. The wind and water coming off the lake have not been kind to the openings. MLPS board members would like to see the issues addressed soon.
Meota Lakefront Paddle and Sail are encouraging anyone who would like to learn how to sail to sign up on the Sask Sailing Website. This is looking like it will be a unique opportunity because it’s an enormous amount of work to pull it off. If you are at all interested it’s imperative that you sign up soon. We need to have 10 registrants in order for it to be a go. If you have any questions you can call Trudy Janssens at 306-374-0843.
It’s very exciting to see the development of a convenient boat trailer parking facility in Meota. I counted room for 14 vehicles on the lower section and likely that many once the boat owners are educated on how to park on the upper level. Residents in Meota who live near the boat launch were always having trucks and boat trailers parked all along their property once boating season started. Sometimes it was even difficult to fit in the boulevard grass mowing because someone was out in their boat while their trailer was parked on Beach Avenue.
This new launching and parking layout has solved the problem. I’ve been told that it’s even much better launching because there are two entry points, and it’s been dug down so that the larger boats are easier to get in and out. It’s always been a standing joke that if you want to have some summer entertainment, just go watch the activity at the boat launch. Hopefully now it will become less entertaining.
