Some more tea?
That was the popular question Sunday at the North Battleford 2013 Centennial Committee's seniors' tea held at the Chapel Gallery.
The attendance was great and the stories were many, as one of the several events planned throughout 2013 to celebrate North Battleford's centennial went off without a hitch.
Tea, sandwiches and desserts along with cake was served, but perhaps the most interesting part of the afternoon were presentations made to the community's centenarians. The oldest resident at the tea Sunday was Daisy Matthew, who was born Sept. 12, 1908 making her 104 years-old.
Other women reaching the 100-year mark include 103-year-old Irene Blais, 102-year-old Jessie Kuttai, 101-year-old Marie Day and 100-year-olds Ida Grosjean, Anna Roberts and Anastasia Bazarkewich.
Many of the honoured centenarians were in attendance Sunday and had their picture taken and were presented with Battlefords Centennial book, a certificate and a special pin by Mayor Ian Hamilton.
Moe McGuinty read some of his poems and there were violinists playing at the Chapel Gallery as well.
The next centennial event will be a birthday party May 1.
