If you have been on the fence until the last minute, there still is time to attend the Lone Butte Fish & Wildlife Association game banquet on Feb 25.

There will be a lot of door prizes and displays, game scoring, and, of course, great food to eat.

Tickets are available at Exeter Sporting Goods for $40 apiece and they include music and dancing after dinner.

For more information, check the website at www.lbfw.com or call George Ostoforoff at 250-395-4027.

 

Potluck supper

The first pot luck supper of 2012 will be on March 4.

Doors open at 4:30 p.m., with supper beginning by 5. Bring your friends and neighbours for a nice evening and get to know some new people.

Call the writer at 250-644-1555 for more information.

 

Easter egg hunt

Easter Sunday will find children out searching for candy-filled eggs.

Bring the family down to the community hall at 1 p.m. for some sweet fun.

 

Spring fling

It’s time to stomp out those winter blahs with a rocking spring fling dance April 14, with Mark Allen playing the tunes.

Tickets will be available at local outlets soon, or folks can call Elaine Kisby at 250-395-4385 or the writer to reserve your seat. Only a limited number of tickets will be sold.

 

Craft fair

April 21 will find the community hall filled with crafts by local artisans for sale.

If you have never been a vendor in Lone Butte, come out and share your wares with our community. It is always great to have some new and different vendors for these events.

We want it to be more of a craft and art event and not garage sale items. Give Audrey Burnell-Higgs a call to book your table now at 250-395-4206.
