In a little more than two weeks, our little town will be alive with music and fun, as we celebrate the Fourth Annual Lone Butte Rocks Day.
There will be a main stage downtown with Tai Chi and belly dancing demonstrations, as well as the always popular pie-eating contest at noon. For some great music, come listen to the Nova Quintet play some Brazilian bossa nova jazz, enjoy some bluegrass with Five Alive or some rock ’n’ roll and blues with the James Gang.
Music will be playing all afternoon until around 4 p.m.
If you have some arts and crafts that you would like to sell, contact Pat McKay at 250-395-2114 for a spot at the community hall. If you have flea market items you would like to donate, or you would like to book a spot to sell your own yard-sale items, contact Al or Gayle Jones at 250-395-5193.
If you are interested in setting up any other type of information booth or community table, contact Heather Nelson at 250-395-3588. If you would like to be a wandering musical busker, please call the writer.

Thank you
A big thank you goes out to everyone who came out and supported the Lone Butte Fish & Wildlife Association (LBF&WA) at its recent “Drive One 4 UR Community” Ford fundraiser on May 5.
A substantial amount was raised and they were very pleased with the success of the event. Thank you to all of the sponsors who made it all possible.
Red Neck Shoot
Handgun enthusiasts will be out in force at the LBF&WA range on June 16-17 for the action target shooting competition.
Members and guests are invited to watch, but should be sure have hearing and eye protection. Give Brian Williams a call at 250-395-8811 to find out more.
Talented exploits
The O.U.T. (Other Unusual Talents) gals continue to meet on the first and third Tuesday mornings of the month at the community hall to share their talents and time.
Give Pat McKay a call at 250-295-2114 if you would like to know more about this active Lone Butte group.
Spring cleanup
The community hall needs its spring cleanup, so if your group uses it or if you would just like to come out and support your community, we will be meeting at the hall on June 10 at 10 a.m.
If you can bring your rake and a weed eater, it would be even better.
Association meetings
The community association is always open to new faces and ideas, and they meet the second Tuesday of each month at 7 p.m. in the hall.
Give the writer a call for more information if you would like to lend a helping hand or contribute in any way.
Celebrations
Birthday wishes go out to Kelly Harrod on June 6 and congratulations go out to Jacqueline von Natzmer and Bernd Schmid on their recent wedding.
