WOW! Two of Our Annual Events Successfully Completed
Hope you were one of the 150 people that made it to our amazing Community Breakfast! Thank you to all the volunteers and especially to Mary Ann Watson for organizing this marvellous feast!! We had a lot of fun volunteering. Wonderful to visit with new and resident members of our community. Thank you Quirk Creek Caledonian for the sponsorship for this event.
September 15th – The much anticipated Square Butte Community Ladies Group sponsored Family Games and Pot Luck Event occurred. Approximately 25 families and an additional 11 individuals gathered on the lawns of our beautiful hall to play games, run races, enter hammer throws and pitch fork tosses (we kept everyone safe). The Pot Luck following was really remarkable in the variety and amount of food that was present. This annual event was also the opportunity to make a draw for a beautiful quilt the ladies group had been collectively working on this past year. Last minute tickets were being purchased right up to draw time.
As the evening ended, Kids gathered in front of the stage for the ‘cake walk’. Similar to musical chairs, everyone pays a quarter to enter each round and when the music stops, whoever is on or closest to the ‘spot’ wins one of the stunning cakes that was donated. Families have been saving their quarters just for this game. This year the cake donation table was full to overflowing with donated delicacies so there were many opportunities for the kids present to take a wonderful cake home to their family.
The membership is a-buzz with excitement for the 4H Beef BBQ with Silent and Live Auction. We are looking forward to reporting on this September 21st. event in next month’s newsletter.
