Interlakes Canco is happy to have raised $346.50 at their breakfasts, which amount is matched by them, and donated equally between Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department and Interlakes Volunteer Fire Department.
Outhouse races
Due to the enormous snowfall and treacherous roads on Feb. 18-19, the Fishing Highway 24’s Outhouse Races have been rescheduled for, wait for it… APRIL FOOLS DAY, Saturday, April 1. They’re still being held at the Iron Horse Pub in Lone Butte. More time for you to put together a team and outhouse!
Log Cabin
Quilters Show
LCQ held their last quinquennial Quilt Show - their third - eight years ago - on July 11-12, 2015 at Interlakes Community Centre (ICC.) The fourth, for July 2020 was scrubbed by the advent of COVID-19. So they are delighted to now be making plans for their fourth show on July 22-23, 2023. Mark your calendars as this is a brilliantly colourful event which fills the hall with magnificent works of art.
Condolences
Deka residents were deeply saddened to learn that Donna Jarvis passed away unexpectedly Feb. 2, at the age of 78.
Captain of Deka’s Citizens on Patrol for decades, Donna was also a member of Deka’s Ladies Auxiliary, Deka’s liaison to Interlakes Community Centre for Christmas Giftboxes, and a wonderful baker and seamstress. She will be sorely missed by many friends. Sincere sympathy is extended to her husband Duncan and their family.
Mountain Spruce
Community Centre/
Park(MSCC)
Co-ordinated by Val Dennison, Mountain Spruce Community Centre’s (MSCC) Jam Night, Feb 11, was a huge success with 21 music-makers, including those from Interlakes, Buffalo Creek and 100 Mile. The next one is 7 p.m., Saturday, March 18.
From 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., March 11, grab your snowshoes or boots and explore Mountain Spruce Park (6335 Mahood Lake Rd.) by the light of the Full Moon. Enjoy hot chocolate, and a fire to warm you up and roast marshmallows. Travel though the Light Walk and across the bridge before heading into the wilderness, lit by your headlamp or flashlight. With a perfect balance of lake views and snow-dusted forest, this experience will leave you in awe, connected to the park and sky. All ages welcome but children must be accompanied by an adult.
For ages 19 plus, reserve your $60 spot in the Resin Workshop, 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. March 22 is full, but there are a few spots left for April 19. See full details on MSCC Facebook page.
You must RSVP to MSCC to learn to make donuts—and dip and fill them—with Debbie, 1:30 p.m., March 15. A small fee will be applied.
