Dear Reader:
Another wonderful week at Russsell/Binscarth Library has flown by. If you missed it, I am sorry, and, in case you haven’t already heard, (have you been under a rock?), let me tell you, Friday, August 18th’s, Friendly Farmer’s Market & Hot Dog Sale was made all the more abuzz with the music of the Russell Pelly Trail Band. The Russell Pelly Trail Band is composed of 4 band members. However, this time, Sylvia Jawar, Lorne Pettitt, and Dave Sawatsky were the members in attendance and played their heart out for almost three hours. What a blast! Thank you, Pelly Trail Band. We look forward to welcoming you back again, any time.
While there may not always be live music at the Farmers’ Market, there are always hot dogs, friendly faces and of course, there is an abundance of locally and lovingly grown produce and wares.
Sadly, it is my duty to inform you that Madison Haliuk’s second summer with us has drawn to a close and Miss. Haliuk is off to embark on her second year of college in Brandon. Madison’s hardworking style, calm demeanor, friendly smile, and quick wit will be sorely missed. Next summer’s Summer Student beware, you have big shoes to fill.
Cookies, Coffee, and Cards continues at Biscarth Library on the 3rd Thursday of every Month. While attendance continues to fluctuate, it pleases us to no end that Mayor Judy attended this last Thursday’s (August 17th), Cookies, Coffee and Cards, for the second time. Mayor Judy, in true Warrior Woman fashion, tackled the library’s Impossipuzzle. Let’s just say, Mayor Judy has laid down the gauntlet, the challenge is on! If you can finish Binscarth’s Impossipuzzle, let us know and we’ll grant you a prize from Rob’s Place in Binscarth. Bring your friends, bring your children, come on down to Binscarth Library on September 14th or any Tuesday/Thursday and Impossipuzzle your heart out!
