Souris Skatepark Committee holds grand opening (Continued from Page 1) formed, led by president Dan Brown. After a strong push, funds were raised but obstacles got in the way. The idea lay dormant until 2012 when Couling again took charge and got the project moved to the finish line. Phase one began with the completion of the boards on the outdoor rink but again the project faltered. So, last May a meeting was called by then Economic Development Officer Vern May who wanted to move forward. A third committee was formed and once again Chris Couling got involved. He was joined by Kris Doull, Darci Semeschuk, Linda Ryckman, Shelley Nepinak, Roxanne Scraba, Karen Palsen, and Mandy Landers. The Committee then held a fundraier and donation drive. After grants from Manitoba Liquor and Lotteries, The Souris Glenwood Chamber of Commerce, Wrap it Up Committee, Community Places Program, Richardson Pioneer and many more businesses and personal donation the project was a go. Following speeches from Mayor Darryl Jackson, Dan Brown and Janine Stephens the ribbon was cut. Guests then enjoyed a wonderful demonstration from the SK8 group and a delicious barbecue beef on a bun supplied and donated by Marc Bellon of Prairie Rose Meats. The Park is up and running thanks to the generosity of many!

Our meat draw on PHOTOS/SUBMITTED Friday, July 31, did not attract many people but getting a meat package was still not an easy task. Some people apparently brought good luck charms. Bob Balbar took home three packages (one by drawing his own number) and Marge Edgerton received two packages in the same way. The 50-50 draw was worth $57.50 and the winning ticket belonged to Blair Woods. Eugene Kowalchuk tried his hand at putting $520 in his pocket. Unfortunately for Eugene, the Ace of Spades would not coop erate and so someone will have a try at it next week. By the time you read this, one week of August will be over. This means that September is not far off and the start of Bingo and Cribbage evenings. Watch Coming Events for our starting dates.
