During school break, Bridge Lake Community School is offering youth instruction in making perogies from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., Nov. 15.
The youth will also enjoy a lunch they make.
At 7 p.m., Nov. 15, residents can enjoy their annual cheese-tasting, an opportunity to taste a variety of Gouda cheeses from the Lower Mainland. The cost is $10. Call immediately for venue as space is limited and the registration deadline was Nov. 12.
Interesting snowfall
It's kind of a shame the Nov. 2-3 record snowfall didn't come one week later during school break.
However, it did make for some interesting scenery, power outages and impassable roads. It was definitely an unforgettable start to winter.
Food drive rescheduled
The unprecedented snowfall also forced the cancellation of Deka Lake & District Volunteer Fire Department's annual food drive, which has been rescheduled for Nov. 17.
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., firefighters will go door to door to collect nonperishable food items or cash for Interlakes Christmas Giftboxes; or leave your donations at the firehall.
Happy takeover
Interlakers send a warm welcome to Wayne and Donna Happy who took over from The Boulevard Cafe at Interlakes Corner on Oct. 16.
The couple, who have two grown children, have only just arrived from Stony Plain, Alberta.
Now named Hap's Diner, the small cafe is open Wednesday to Sunday, and as Wayne explains, "The Boulevard Cafe was fine dining. We're just regular food, quantity, quality, and a fair price."
Horsey dinner/auction
This year's third annual Horsey Ladies dinner auction is on Nov. 15 at Wildmans Family Dining & Lounge. The auction follows the meal, and its proceeds will go to a non-profit "horsey" organization that will be voted on at the dinner.
Christmas bazaar
Don't miss the annual Roe Lake Christmas Bazaar from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Nov. 17.
You will be able to fill your Christmas list from vendors' many interesting creations. Vendors may call 250-593-0025 to see if space remains.
Donations sought
Donations for Bridge Lake Elementary School's Nov. 22 dinner auction may be left at the school, or call Denise Waldner at 250-593-4763 if you would like something picked up.
