Nearly 80 guests enjoyed the Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department (DLDVFD) Ladies Auxiliary’s (LA) Fall Dinner Dance, Oct. 17.
Brian Nixdorf was the lucky winner of the silver squirrel nutcracker door prize. Firefighters from Deka, Interlakes and Sulphurous were amongst the attendees.

The winners were as follows: quilt, from the LA, was won by Jim Horton of Interlakes; afghan, from Debbie Patterson, Julie Wiebe, Abbotsford; wine bottle holder from Mario Huebel and placemats (LA), Linda Kinnear, Bridge Lake; Crib board from Gary Sayenchuk, Sandy Dean, Williams Lake; moose birdhouse from Al Ballantyne, Gina Hill, Maple Ridge; and emergency ladder and fire extinguisher from the LA, Janet Erskine, Deka.
