Get your dancing shoes on and come out to the Spring Fling dance at the Lone Butte Community Hall on April 21.

Mark Allen will be providing entertainment, so things should be hopping as soon the first tunes start up at 8 p.m. Doors open at 7 p.m.

Folks can pick their tickets up now at the Lone Butte General Store, or by calling Elaine Kisbey at 250-395-4385.

All proceeds from the dance will be put towards some much needed, expensive repairs at the hall.

 

Community happenings

Quite a few members of the community came together on March 5 for a potluck supper sharing some great food and eating too much (maybe I should speak for myself).

I always find these gatherings a wonderful time and it really brings that “small-town” feel to the community. Gatherings like this are foreign to many communities and city dwellers, so it is so nice to have events like this in our area.

Mark your calendars for the next delicious potluck that will be held on April 29. Everyone is welcome.

 

Artists in our midst

The Other Unusual Talents group is thriving in Lone Butte, as members gather on the first and third Tuesdays of each month at the community hall.

Recently, several of their regular attendees were showcased in an art display. Longtime area resident Betty Lunn shared her many paintings, while Karen Perchie from 97 Mile showed her detailed embroidery creations, and Jeannette Cockram showed what magnificent creations can be done with buttons.

There was a lot of talent, and there is a lot of time spent creating. If you would like more information about the O.U.T. group, give Audrey Burnell-Higgs a call at 250-395-4206.

 

Lone Butte Rocks

Plans are coming together for the upcoming Lone Butte Rocks community event on June 23.

Entertainment is being booked, tables rented and activities planned for this annual event. Each year, it is getting a little bigger with more things being added and more people participating.

If you have a craft to sell, some entertainment to showcase or would just like to lend a helping hand, call Heather Nelson at 250-395-3588 or the writer at 250-644-1555 to find out how you can get involved.

 

Meat draw

With the much-needed repairs to the community hall lingering in the minds of the Lone Butte Community Association members, they are doing whatever they can to fund raise for this upcoming project.

With the support of the Dusty Rose Pub in 70 Mile House, proceeds from the April 21 meat draw will be given back to the association. If you would like to support this event, make your way down to the Dusty Rose from 2 to 5 p.m. to enjoy some fun and support this fundraising event.

 

Historical association

The Lone Butte Historical Association is having a meeting on March 21 at the Alice Singleton House across from the general store in downtown Lone Butte.

If you would like to learn more about what this wonderful group of people do to keep our history alive and well in our community, call Al or Gayle Jones at 250-395-5193.

 

Bunny cancelled

There will be no Easter Egg Hunt this year.
