Kiwanis draw shocks retiree

Members of the Lloydminster Fire Department took the time to speak with Jack Kemp kindergarten and Grade 1 students about fire-safety on Oct. 10. One firefighter even suited-up to show the children what he looks and sounds like in his gear.

Lloydminster COPs to host Alberta AGM JEANNETTE BENOIT-LEIPERT STAFF WRITER

..................................

Lloydminster Citizens on Patrol members have been busy preparing to host the ACOPA (Alberta Citizens on Patrol Association) workshop and annual general meeting.

The event, slated for this weekend, will see

C OPs memb ers fro m across Alberta, as well as members of law enforcement gather at the Lloyd Ex for presentations on a wide range of topics.

“It’s all of Alberta for the AGM, but we have a workshop too— all day Saturday, with guest speakers and training for citizens on patrol and the Alberta

RCMP,” said Lloydminster COP’s president Don Larry.

“We draw in groups from Saskatchewan, Ontario, B.C. They come here for the training and the workshops … plus all the liaisons from the RCMP from these different groups, they get together and they do their own sessions and demonstra-

tions and stuff.”

Larry said he has traveled to attend the meetings before—one in Drumheller, and then last year’s AGM which was held in Sherwood Park.

“They’re pretty big events. It’s nice having it here, but it’s a lot of work putting it on.”

Connie Kempton was driving to Edmonton with a friend on Friday when she got the best shock of her life, causing her to pull over.

It was Lloydminster Kiwanis Club secretary Vera Gallant on the phone telling the Lloydminster retiree she’d won $10,000 from the 50/50 draw pot of $20,000.

“We’ve just made the draw for the $10,000 and guess what? asked Gallant.

“Don’t tell me I won,” replied Kempton who later went on to ask, “Can you repeat that?” then, “Are you telling me I won $10,000?” before it finally sank in during the back and forth banter.

Ironically, it was Gallant who sold Kempton the winning ticket and joked, “You told me you’d give me half if you won.”

“I’m on my way to a casino, I’ll spend your half there,” quipped Kempton.

The lucky ticket was pulled from a drum at Universal Consulting

Group by partner Erin Rommel.

Kempton noted she didn’t have any immediate plans for the money, but told a livestream audience on Facebook, “Kiwanis is great organization.”

“I gave that money for the right cause.

Sometimes paying it forward really pays doesn’t it, “ she stated.

Gallant wound up her end of the call thanking Kempton for supporting Kiwanis and wishing her a happy Thanksgiving.

“Happy Thanksgiving to you too. This is a blessing isn’t it,” added Kempton.

The $10,000 share that goes to Kiwanis is expected to fund their two main charity events starting with the Santa project, one of Gallant’s favourites.

She says every child from pre-K to Grade 2 in both school divisions will receive a bag with a toy and chocolates, candies, chips and cheesies along with a Christmas orange and candy canes.

Gamers primed for Spectrefest

Mike and Justin will continue to honour the memory of Jason and raise money for Crohn’s and Colitis Canada during the third annual 24-hour streamed gaming event dubbed Spectrefest on Oct. 21.

GEOFF LEE STAFF WRITER

..................................

When their dad brought home a Commodore 64 computer years ago for gaming, it set off a chain reaction for the Vany brothers with no end in sight.

Mike and Justin Vany are using their tech skills to promote the third annual 24-hour gaming stream fundraiser, dubbed Spectrefest 2023 to raise funds for Crohn’s and Colitis Canada.

The event will honour the memory of their other brother Jason who died from surgical complications of ulcerative colitis in 2018 and was well loved as an avid gamer.

“That’s why we reached out to Crohn’s and Colitis Canada.

We’ve been working with

23105pp0

them over the last three years to raise money for them,” said Mike.

“Over the past two years, we’ve raised almost $8,000 for that charity.”

Mike thinks it would be amazing if they could raise $5,000 this year.

Every penny raised goes to the Crohn’s and colitis non-profit that has set up an website at tinyurl.com/ specfest2023 with a link to donate.

Crohn’s disease and ulcerative colitis are diseases that inflame the lining of the gastrointestinal tract and disrupt the body’s ability to digest food, absorb nutrition, and eliminate waste in a healthy manner.

Spectrefest will kick off at 10 a.m, on Oct. 21 hosted by Mike at witch.

tv/tgonline in Lloyd and Cory Duchscer at Dukey03 in North Battleford for gamers anywhere.

“Cory Duchscher a nd Ja so n w e r e be st friends,” explained Mike.

“We all spent time together doing gaming.”

Spectrefest is named after Jason’s online gamer tag.

Not surprisingly, Jason majored in computer science when he moved to Lloydminster in 2000 to attend Lakeland College and he graduated with a job there in IT. Mike was inspired by Jason and followed suit by enroling at Lakeland in 2004 and he currently works at the Lloyd campus as an IT operations manager.

Seniors soak up retirement talk GEOFF LEE STAFF WRITER

..................................

It was a senior leading seniors during a National Seniors Day lunch and learn at the Lloydminster Legacy Centre.

More than 120 seniors turned out to hear well known semiretiree, Neil Harris deliver a presentation on the four stages of retirement and resilience in aging last Thursday.

It was seniors week in Saskatchewan from Oct. 1 to 7 as well.

Harris set the tone by introducing himself as a workplace and com-

COPS FROM PAGE 3

Lloyd COPs member numbers have decreased in the last few years, largely due to Covid.

“We’re down to about 15 (people). We were at about 38 before Covid,” said Larry.

“If anybody is interested, they can contact me. We’re always looking for volunteers.

We’re short-staffed right now, so we can always use more people.”

Citizens on Patrol support the RCMP in Lloydminster by keeping an eye out for minor crimes within the Border City.

“We’re just concerned citizens in the community. We don’t get involved in the major crime stuff. We just report anything we see that should be reported,” said Larry, adding they have three marked COPs cars that they use on patrol.

They also do another thing to make the City safer through their ‘safe ride home’ service.

“If there’s some type of event like a wedding, Ch ris tma s p art y—w e offer to take everybody home in their car. We keep the drunk people off the roads and get them home and their vehicles home too,” said Larry, adding the service is their biggest source of income as

munity health and wellness consultant with a unique PhD that stands for pretty happy dude.

“I try not to let life take me down,” said Harris at the podium.

“I’m semi retired. I’m doing some contract work right now. I’m able to fit the things I want to fit in and work when I want to, so it’s quite flexible.”

Harris’ talk is based on a book by researcher Dr. Riley Moynes who likens the first stage of retirement to being on a vacation that lasts about a year.

He says the next stage is loss and feeling lost before the experimental people are encouraged to make a donation in exchange for a safe ride home.

Anyone interested in becoming involved with Lloydminster COPs is encouraged to contact Don Larry at 306-8211862.

stage where you try any number of activities to gain a sense of purpose.

Harris says the fourth stage is what Moynes calls squeezing the juice out retirement by giving back to others as Harris is doing right now.

“In doing so you fulfill things for yourself.

You get back out to the community; you’re connected. You’re active; you’ve got a reason to get up in the morning,” he said.

Harris is doing just that on his contract with Jordan’s Principle, a federal government program helping

First Nations in Canada access the products, services and supports they need.

Harris also had some other topics in mind to cover during his presentation. “ We’re going t o be mentioning some other things like touching around resilience and how to be resilient in our senior years and a little bit about mental health,” he said.

“Part of the presentation will be about loneliness and isolation and how to overcome that.”

Harris also planned to touch on financial

Winddancer demos braids

Geoff Lee Meridian Source

Kamen, a Grade 4 student gets a helping hand weaving pipe cleaners into a bracelet from his teacher Raemi Wilchynski. The Indigenous studies exercise was led by consultant Winddancer Waskewitch.

GEOFF LEE STAFF WRITER

..................................

Twisting some pipe cleaners together to make a bracelet can teach young students an important lesson about Indigenous culture.

Winddancer Waskewitch, an Indigenous consultant with the Lloydminster Public School Division, best known by his first name, used the exercise to teach Grade 4 students at College Park

School the meaning of braiding hair.

“I’m so passionate about it. I found a lot more stories and lessons behind it,” said Winddancer who braids his own hair.

He says braiding hair is a cultural connection to one’s parents and grandparents and the creator.

“Having long hair is a way of showing that commitment to being connected,” he said.

“I grew up seeing men that I wanted to be like with long hair. For me, a role model had long hair. My hair taught me how to be a father and a man.”

Teacher Raemi Wilchynski, says Winddancer visited her class twice last week to learn about how important braiding is to his culture and give kids the chance to practise braiding.

“It’s part of social studies program and infusing First Nations culture into our school,” said Wilchynski.

“Last year, he came and shared the importance of it and this year, we were able to braid and actually see how to do it and see the importance of it a little bit more. Kids learn best by doing.”

Students were given three different coloured strands to weave together to make bracelets or book marks with Indigenous braiding in mind.

Justin uses his computer know-how to help Mike with marketing Spectrefest.

“We’ve always had an interest in computers and technology,” said Mike, adding Jason, “was a huge fan of all sorts of gaming.

“We’ve had a really strong presence in Lloydminster. A lot of folks still talk with me about times they’ve spent with Jason and how they knew him.”

Mike says when Jason moved to North Battleford in 2012, he and Justin would spend time online with him playing games and keeping in contact.

“It was almost like a daily occurrence,” he said.

Jason’s interest in gaming along with the need to raise funds for Crohn’s and colitis is expected to draw between 60 to 120 gamers from Lloydminster and North Battleford.

“We’ve got roots in North Battleford. That’s KIWANIS FROM PAGE 3

“We are already shopping and looking for deals on items we put in the bags. We will start delivering to the schools hopefully in the second week of December,” said Gallant.

“We’ll be packing 2,000 bags.”

The club is also the title sponsor of the annual Kiwanis Lloydminster and District Music Festival.

“The $10,000 hopefully will be enough to cover those two projects,” said Gallant.

“This is the fourth year we have done this fundraising and every year we’ve been able to sell out.”

“The community is awesome. I pound the pavement. I go to a lot of businesses and everyone is very welcoming and very supportive.”

Gallant also took the opportunity to name UCG founder Paul Richer, who was absent, as a recipient of the club’s distinguished service award along with a gift card to Tim Hortons.

“He’s just very supportive of the Kiwanis Club,” said Gallant.

where Cory’s from as well. We’re just trying to get the message out to get as many people to come and support the cause,” said Mike.

“The first year we did it, we had over 500 people stop in at some point in that 24 hours.”

Mike says the plan as usual is to play all sorts of games.

“We do a fair amount of the retro ones that we would have grown up with like the original Nintendo and Sega and stuff like that,” he said.

“Then we do some of

the newer games out there as well. It’s kind of a mixed bag of everything.”

Mike says Spectrefest will also have a live chat for players to talk with him or Duchscher the whole time.

“We appreciate anyone who’s in the middle of the night to keep helping us to stay awake and going for it. It’s completely interactive,” he added.

“The more people we have in the stream helps get the channel spotted by other people who oth-

erwise might not know that it’s happening.”

Duchscher may have pitched it best in the inaugural 2021 promotional video with Mike that’s still available for a listen at Spectrefest Facebook page.

“To give to give back to a charity that there’s to help people who are in the same situation or similar situation to what Jason had been in just means a lot to me and of course to Mike as well,” he said.

“It’s going to be all around fun times.”

He says with baby boomers moving into retirement in large numbers, retirement is a timely topic.

The annual event is a partnership between Lloydminster Family and Community Support Services (FCSS) and Lloydminster Learning Council Association.

“We are very fortunate to have Neil Harris here today, a local speaker, someone who knows the local community and someone who has experience with retirement,” said FCSS manager social programs and services, Patrick Lancaster.

“We want to make sure folks are well prepared for that transition and can be strong and resilient as they go through retirement.”

The event was also an opportunity to promote the city’s senior taxi program and the recreation access program for low income people of any age to get reduced access rates to use city facilities.

Geoff Lee Meridian Source

Neil Harris, a workplace and community health and wellness consultant led a National Seniors Day lunch and learn at the Legacy Centre last Thursday. Harris spoke about the four stages of retirement and resilience in aging.

“The learning council is also sharing information targeted towards seniors,” said Lancaster.

The council also secured some funding from the federal New Horizons for Seniors Program.

“We were able to partly fund this project and organize this event,” said learning council executive director, Maria Sarcauga.

“This is an important event for seniors

because we have identified a topic that would be of interest to them— the stages of retirement,” she said.

“This is ideal for them to see what stage they are in now and cope with the issues of aging and being a senior citizen.”

Many seniors also took in free city tours to the artifact warehouse and Lloydminster Museum and Archive Oct. 3-4.

WINDDANCER FROM PAGE 6

Winddancer says each strand represents their own intention or goal and he tells them to weave them together as a commitment that they are going to work towards these goals.

“They are able to do home and share the braiding and their parents tell me they can show them they that can do that,” he said.

“That gives me a sense of pride. We’re happy they could feel that sense of accomplishment because that’s how I felt when I braided my hair for the first time.”

A young student who said his name was Beckett explained the trick to weave a bracelet after

getting some tips from Winddancer.

“You have to tie it and stuff,” he explained.

He was also spot on about the what the exercise taught him.

“I learned it means your hair is important,” he said.

Winddancer says when they cut the hair of Indigenous youth who attended residential schools they cut their culture and their language too.

“So my way of keeping all that was my hair,” he said.

“It really means a lot to see another Indigenous man with long hair too because I can think he’s connected too in some way in his own way.”

2017

Learning to drive is no joke My daughter recently got her Alberta learner’s permit. It was an exciting day! She wrote the test at the nearest registry agency to our house, which is in Dewberry.

I told her if she passed, I’d let her drive home to Clandonald.

On the highway. Taking both our lives into her hands, quite literally.

Not to mention anyone else in the wrong place at the wrong time.

I forgot how much learning it actually takes to become a confident, yet cautious driver.

I’ve had my driver’s license since the day I turned 16. As a farm girl, it was the key that unlocked my social life.

And as Jenaya so often reminds me—I am old, so I’ve been driving for about 23 years.

Most of the kilometres I’ve logged in the past 15 years or so are thanks to Jenaya and her four brothers.

All three of her older brothers are now fairly experienced drivers, and Jenaya and Noah look up to them big-time.

They had a good teacher. My husband has had his class 1 license for many years, and he’s WAY less of a stress-case than I am.

They’ve all done well on the road, even though it was hard to let go at first.

We were so excited for them when they got their driver’s licenses, but that nagging anxiety in my mom brain was pretty intense at first.

I always encouraged them to drive defensively, as they never know what they might encounter out there.

Wildlife, drunk drivers, RCMP. Their vehicle insurance is expensive enough without any tickets!

As Jenaya and I left

the registry office I noticed she had a tenand-two death-grip on the wheel. She nervously drove down main street Dewberry and I decided she should do some more “village” and “hamlet” driving before heading out on the highway.

I decided to practise defensive parenting that day!

I didn’t want to discourage her, but truthfully she looked quite relieved as she put it in park so that we could switch seats. I adjusted my seat back to the point where I wasn’t breaking teeth on my knees, and we hit the highway.

That day she drove to our house from the edge of our hamlet. I breathed a silent sigh of relief when she put it in park.

Since then she has been driving at least a couple times a week, and I see improvement each time. I think her

biggest enemy is her nerves, and it probably makes things worse when I grip the grab handle above the passenger door. I’m slowly learning too, learning how to mask my anxiety.

I think it’s time she went out for a cruise with her dad!

Opinion

Leeway from Lloyd: Newspapers have you covered STAFF WRITER GEOFF LEE

Riddle me this.

What’s black and white and read all over? The answer is a newspaper.

National Newspaper Week was marked last week to recognize the important contribution newspapers have especially at the community level.

Unlike corporate chain newspapers, many independent community newspapers are doing well especially if they operate the opposite to chains that only focus on the bottom line.

The formula for success is: good local content attracts readers which attracts advertisers. That means a lot of features and putting community service first by covering, supporting and sponsoring local events.

When a chain buys a small paper they end up cutting staff or going fully digital to cut costs and inevitably their own throat. This leads to a local news vacuum that can be filled by the independents looking to grow with content.

The Moosomin World Spectator, for example is entering its 140th year in business this month with upward revenue and circulation growth and new publications over the past 20 years according to

owner and publisher Kevin Weedmark. He spoke about the opposite approach he takes versus the chains in a CBC radio interview last week from Regina.

Some news outlets that used to have printed newspapers, but have gone fully digital are taking a revenue hit since Meta and Google decided to block all news content from media in reaction to Bill C-18 Canada’s Online News Act. It requires Meta and Google to pay media for news content shared on their online platforms.

The Meridian Source continues to be printed and distributed free to homes along with

its paid advertisements that thousands of potential local customers can read, save and refer to. The flyers allow consumers to find bargains as the cost of the living rises. A community paper give advertisers a good bang for their buck, knowing how many people they can reach for at a least a week until the next edition. Digital is a crap shoot.

The Source covers all aspects of the community such as community leaders, heroes, organizations, sports, fundraisers, and business stories along with hard news etc. That’s why the Source is black and white and read all over.

Midwest Minute MIDWEST MINUTE VERN McCLELLAND

Our family has a livestock operation outside of Maidstone with cattle on feed year around plus a summer grazing program.

We buy calves to background plus custom feed cattle for clients.

Essentially, we bring in freshly weaned calves weighing between 450 to 600 pounds, grow them to about 1,000 pounds, then send them to feedlots in southern Alberta to be finished at slaughter weight.

On the custom contract side, we overwinter several cow herds plus manage replacement heifers and feeders for a half dozen clients.

Our base feed is silage, both corn and grain, plus straw, screenings, distiller dried grains, and whatever else is available at a reasonable price to get the job done.

Each pen of cattle gets a daily diet specifically designed to meet the goals for that specific group.

This ration is updated regularly, because as the cattle grow, so does the amount of protein and energy they require.

For example, you want calves which are still growing to develop the frame and muscle, but not too much fat, which will support their future mature weight. Think of a healthy teenager.

Bred cows are fed in accordance to how far along they are in pregnancy, supporting the health of both the fetus and the mother.

Of course, in the midwest, temperature, and wind both have a significant impact on nutritional needs.

The margins are literally in the pennies per day, multiplied by the number of cattle on

feed.

You need a very sharp pencil, good health protocols, and experienced management to make a living at it.

My son, Scott, runs the show but all members of the family help wherever they can.

We had three generations applying the covers to the silage piles this last weekend, then I spent Thanksgiving Monday in the tractor working up an old stand of brome / alfalfa getting it ready for next year’s corn.

But it couldn’t be done without reliable help from neighbours, friends, and contractors.

“

Each pen of cattle gets a daily diet specifically designed to meet the goals for that specific group

They say it takes a village to raise a child; but it takes a wide network to be successful in agriculture, from the mobile mechanic and electrician to the truck and tractor drivers.

For fun, I counted the number of vendors we used more than once in the last 12 months. It was over 40.

Amazing, when you think about it. All these people are needed to put food on your and my table.

Thank you, one and all.

Rod Kirby honoured TAYLOR WEAVER EDITOR

..................................

It looks like Old Man Winter steered clear of the Border City long enough for interested athletes to give the sport of football a go.

Known as Football Day in Lloydminster for many years, Rod Kirby Day, which was held on Sept. 23 this year, was a special day as the Lloydminster Minor Football Association (LMFA) hosted the eighth annual memorial football day to remember Lloyd’s Mr. Football, Rod Kirby, who passed away at the Lloydminster Hospital on June 10, 2016, at age 48.

“Rod had lots of involvement in youth activities in Lloyd, he coached for a long time, but first and foremost, he was a firm believer in developing football in the community and having that access for kids with a different sport,” said LMFA pres-

ident Angie Payne.

The day was hosted at Holy Rosary High School (HRHS) and included a Peewee game at 3 p.m. and a Bantam game under the lights with a 6 p.m. kickoff; a unique opportunity for Bantam players who are in

Grades 8 and 9.

“We have two teams in our Peewee division and two teams in our Bantam division, and those are the teams that run during our regular season in the fall, explained Payne.

Sports Boston Blythe biding his time

Geoff Lee Meridian Source

Craig Blythe who teaches Grade 4 students at Winston Churchill School, pictured as the race director of the recent LPSD cross country run at Bud Miller All Seasons Park, was surprised to learn he will not be let into the 2024 Boston Marathon despite beating the initial time standard that was tightened by 5:29 for all age groups and genders. He will give it another stab next year.

GEOFF LEE STAFF WRITER

..................................

Lloydminster runner Craig Blythe finds himself one of 11,039 runners who thought they qualified for the 2024 Boston Marathon, but won’t be let into the race.

It turns out runners had to go five minutes and 29 seconds faster than the qualifying time for their age and gender to gain entry into next year’s marathon.

The Boston Athletic Association (BAA) announced on Sept.

28, the cutoff is 5:29 quicker due a record number of applications and a race limit of 30,000 entries, the same as the 2022 and 2023 race.

The 36 year-old Blythe beat the initial qualifying time of 3:05

in his 35-39 age group by clocking a 3:01:31 at the Edmonton Marathon in the summer.

He says it turns out he would have had to run 2:59.31 to officially qualify.

“Every other year in the race’s history, except 2021 and 2023, my 3:01:31 time would have qualified, so it’s very disappointing news,” said Blythe who teaches Grade 4 students and coaches runners at Winston Churchill School.

He says the news is also motivating.

“Next year, I will try to run a 2:58 to make sure I get in,” he affirmed.

The qualifying period for the 2024 Boston Marathon opened on Sept. 1, 2022, and ran until Sept. 15, 2023.

The BAA states in

part, “achieving one’s qualifying standard does not guarantee entry into the event, but simply the opportunity to submit a registration application.”

The previous record for applications was 30,458 in 2018 for the 2019 race. That number of applicants resulted in a cutoff of 4:52.

The 2021 race, which was held in October that year, had a cutoff of 7:47, because the field size was much smaller—only 20,000 runners—following the pandemic. The 2020 Boston Marathon was cancelled.

The 2024 race will take place on April 15 with Blythe on the sidelines.

“I’ll just keep on running and see what happens next year,” he said.

Thursday, October 12, 2023 FOOTBALL FROM PAGE 20

“We save that day to have the local teams play each other and be a part of the community together to see what it’s all about. It also acts as a fundraiser for the association.”

Fundraising came in the form of a silent auction as well as a concession.

“We’re also very grateful to Holy Rosary High School for allowing us to use their field for the event; the kids love playing under the lights.”

The sidelines at HRHS were packed with fans and family throughout the day, and during the Bantam game, the Source had the opportunity to chat with some Peewee players after their game.

Ten-year-old Domenic a wide receiver for the Colts, said despite the day’s loss, he still had a blast.

“The whole game overall was my favourite part of the day,” he said, adding this is his first year playing football. “ Twelve-year-old Cole, who’s in his second year

Football Day was held under sunny skies at the HRHS field, and sidelines were packed full of cheering fans.

playing, said being able to tackle everyone was his favourite part of the day, noting he plays on the defensive line as well as centre on offense.

Jayce, an 11-year-old linebacker and running back in his second year, said his favourite part of the day was the “whole day in general.”

All three youngsters knew the meaning of the day and collectively agreed they had a great time in Kirby’s honour.

The LMFA season starts in mid-August and runs until midNovember, and with the weather on the cooler side for the day’s later game, players got a taste of what it’s like playing in the fall.

“It was definitely a little chilly for spectators during the later game, but the kids like it like that,” said Payne. “They like it to be around 12 or 18 degrees because they’re running around … so the weather was almost perfect on the day.”

A Lloydminster native herself, Payne explained she’s seen a lot of growth over the years regarding local football, especially when it comes to inclusivity.

“I grew up in Lloyd, and Football Day used to be geared towards high school kids, and now it’s moved into the Bantam and Peewee divisions as well, so it’s much more inclusive.”

Collector Con continues to grow TAYLOR WEAVER EDITOR

..................................

For fans of all things comic books, collectibles, and cosplay, the Servus Sports Centre was the place to be as Babs Gaming and Sports Cards hosting its third-annual Collector Con. Collector Con has seen growth Babs’ coowners Andrews Ross and Mitch Lapensee didn’t think was possible when they started a few years ago. Originally held at the Lloyd Ex, this year’s expo held Sept. 23-24, moved to the multiplex to accommodate more guests and vendors.

“It’s awesome to see so much traffic this weekend, and it’s a great feeling having it grow so fast. We had 1,017 people here on Saturday and the numbers are already looking good today,” said Ross on the final afternoon of the show.

“Last year’s expo featured 21 vendors and was hosted at the Lloyd Exhibition, and this year’s show saw 35 vendors in the north fieldhouse at the Servus Sports Centre.”

The new location also allowed Ross and Lapensee to go even bigger when it came to activities. If attendees found they were having a little too much fun, a quick stop in the new Zen Zone was just what the doctor ordered.

“We stuck with the bouncy houses, but we

went with bigger and better bouncy houses.

We went to a different venue to accommodate more vendors, and we also added a Zen Zone,” explained Ross.

“A lot of people can get over-stimulated and could use a break, so we built a quiet room to help people relax. You can draw in the sand in there, you can colour, do some origami; just hang out.”

Lapensee also explained Collector Con wasn’t just for the kids and included more exciting new features.

“We had everybody from two years of age to 45 years of age,” he said. “Everybody came out, there was someth in g fo r e v e ryb o d y , and it showed. The community really supported the event, and it was awesome.”

“We had a cosplay contest on Saturday as well as Sunday; we had a Mario Kart tournament yesterday, a magician, all kinds of fun stuff.”

“We also brought in local author Frank Krulicki who built a graphic novel,” explained Ross.

“We did a live Q and A session with him on Saturday to talk about his career and how he got to where he is now.”

Another major hit this year was the Bruneau family and their fully customized Mystery Machine, which even included mini putt for the kids.

Amy, Brenden, Sierra

Taylor Weaver Meridian Source

The third-annual collector con event was hosted by Babs Gaming and Sports Cards at the Servus Sports Centre. More than 1,000 people visited the event to check out the unique collections on display.

(13) and Ferris (5) trailered their Mystery Machine to the Border City from Hepburn, Sask., and turned quite a few heads in the process.

“Yesterday, I guess there was a buzz when we came int o t own,” said Amy on Sunday afternoon. “Someone posted they saw us in town on What’s Happening in Lloydminster on Facebook and they wanted to know if we were legit. I requested to join the page and was immediately accepted, so I let everyone in the group know where to find us in town.”

With experience in automotive restoration, Brenden explained

the Mystery Machine started out as a COVID project to keep everyone busy during lockdowns.

“We took it to a show after it was completed and it was almost a snowball affect after that,” said Brenden.

“People loved the van, and we kept getting invited to more car shows and expos like this.

“Quite a few people actually came here specifically to check out the van after seeing the buzz on Facebook.”

“This is the kind of thing we really love to do,” added Amy. So, what does the family get out of the experience? When asked, mom and dad

gave different answers simultaneously.

“Nothing,” said Amy. “Enjoyment,” added Brenden.

“We like showing off our work and making

people smile, that was the whole reason for doing this project in the first place,” said Amy. “Getting to show it off even more is icing on the cake.”
