ALIDA - Margaret, Parry and Wendal Peet participated in the Terry Fox Run in honour of Lynette Peet at the Arcola School on Sept. 23. The route was truly a tribute to Lynette, with many pictures and memories posted along the way. They got to meet Lynette’s co-workers and see her kindergarten room.
She left a lasting impression at the school with teachers and students. The sea of purple was beautiful and a day to remember.
They brought in $1,990 from the Alida community. Thanks to all who donated to the cause. Diane and Ken Potapinski also attended and participated in the run with the Peet family.
A barrel racing event was held in Carievale Sept. 17-18. The Southeast Turn and Burn Barrels of Cash event was attended by Skylar Mailhiot, Adrianna Junk, and Stephanie and Stella Campbell.
At this event, Skylar placed fourth when her horse Snooki ran 17.90 in the 1D open out of 88 open horses. Also in Carievale on Sept. 18, Haze Campbell competed in the mutton bustin’ event. A great fun-filled weekend was had by everyone.
Sincere sympathy is extended to Margaret Gervais on the death of her sister Rita (Newbury) Murray of Melita, Man., who passed away Sept. 23 at the age of 85. A private family service will be held with interment at Melita Cemetery.
