Thanks to a grant from the 100 Mile branch of the Williams Lake and District Credit Union, the Lone Butte Community Hall will soon get some much needed improvements.
With this extra funding, we will soon have a working sound system and improved acoustics for our many community events. A special thank-you goes out to Christine Gallagher for taking time from her busy schedule to apply for this much needed funding.
Successful swap
Sewing notions were shared, fabric was exchanged, and wool was traded at the most recent gathering of the local Other Unusual Talents Group (O.U.T.).
Fifteen ladies gathered at the community hall for this fun exchange, which included the sharing stories and coffee. For more information, call Pat MacKay at 250-395-2114.
They meet at 10:00 a.m. on the first and third Tuesdays (not Wednesdays as was mistakenly written in the last article).
Aboriginal Day
Horse Lake Elementary celebrated National Aboriginal Day on June 20.
The grade 4 and 5 students highlighted their recent studies on Aboriginal culture. There were all sorts of creations depicting homes, artwork and spiritual beliefs displayed in the hallways of the school.
Redneck Fun
Lone Butte Fish & Wildlife Association (LBFW) members had a great weekend at their Redneck shoot on June 16-17.
With 15 different stages and many humorous themes, it was an event to behold. Aside from a few showers and one downpour on Sunday, the weather co-operated.
The funds raised at this event will be used for the big shoot of the year, the International Practical Shooting Confederation (IPSC) British Columbia Provincial Championship, which the LBFWA will be hosting on Sept. 1-2.
Quiet so far
With all the rain we have been having, things have been quiet for the Lone Butte Volunteer Fire Department.
While everyone still must stay vigilant when doing any campfires, so far the season is off to a good start.
