Things were swinging until the early hours at the Spring Fling Dance held recently at the community hall.
Mark Allen kept everyone on the dance floor and this writer joined in for a little Janis Joplin and “Bobby McGee.” There was a good turnout from near and far.
A big thank-you goes out the fire chief Jaret Scott and his group of volunteer firefighters who provided safe rides home to anyone who wanted to play it safe after a fun night out.
PAC Fundraising
The Horse Lake Elementary School Parents Advisory Committee members have been selling raffle tickets with all proceeds going toward new playground equipment.
They are also selling some great cookbooks with submissions from both parents and students from years gone-by. It is a great deal at $5 and, of course, we all know the money raised is going toward good school causes.
Lone Butte Rocks
If you haven't already, mark your calendars for the Fourth Annual Lone Butte Rocks community celebration.
We will be having a car show, numerous crafts and art creations for sale, as well as garage sale and flea market items up for grabs. The local businesses will all be participating with some great deals to be had, and a poker run will make visiting these local venues even more enticing.
There will be the “kids’ zone” for the little ones and the firefighters will be hosting an open house with hotdogs, drinks and fire truck rides, too. We also have a full afternoon of live entertainment lined up on stage outside, including a pie-eating contest, so bring your lawn chairs and plan for a full day of fun.
If you would like to book a space for arts and crafts, contact Pat McKay at 250-395-2114. If you have garage sale items to sell or donate to the Lone Butte Historical Association, call Gayle Jones at 250-395-5193, or if you would like to be part of the entertainment or learn more about getting involved in any other capacity, call Heather Nelson at 250-395-3588 or the writer.
