Remembrance Day
Horse Lake Elementary School (HLES) students were honoured to have veteran Jack Drake give a brief presentation on what Remembrance Day means to him on Nov. 4.
Drake is retired now after serving 36 years in the Royal Canadian Armoured Corps. Several classes recited poems and stories in honour of the veterans who have served, or are serving for our rights and freedoms.
Great dance
It was a tough choice for the judges to pick best costumes with about three-quarters of the people dressed up at the packed Halloween dance on Oct. 29.
The generosity of Cariboo Truck and Equipment for the spot dance prizes and the many other donations for the silent auction were much appreciated and brought in a tidy sum to go into the coffers of the Historical Association.
Mark Allen rocked the house and kept all on their feet dancing until the wee hours. The Lone Butte Historical Society would like to send out special thanks to all of the volunteers that made the Halloween dance such a success.
Originality galore
HLES students enjoyed a costume parade, followed by a good old sock hop on the afternoon of Oct. 31.
There was a lot of originality in the students' costumes and prizes were awarded in each age group. It was a great job by all the students who were so creative with their costumes.
Breast cancer fundraiser
Ladies night at the Iron Horse Pub on Nov. 1 was action-packed and raised a substantial amount of cash to donate for breast cancer research.
There were many prizes and silent auction items that the women could bid on and everyone who came out had a great time while supporting a good cause.
