The annual Dinner Theatre, performed by the Old Mill Players at Mayfair Feb. 23 was as hilarious as their plays always are. Everyone went home with a smile on their face, chuckling about the various characters and their roles, so well done! The cast is as follows, starting at the far end - Helen played by Sheila Bachelder, next is Betty played by Cheryl Bulmer, Gail played by Karlie Bachelder, Joanne by Bev Thomas, Sara by Lori Zyznomirski, Marg by Ester Welsh, Bob by Roman Ewanchuk, Paul by Kolin Bulmer. The prompter was Elizabeth Ewanchuk and sound and lights were under the control of Jaycee Bulmer.

Duplicate bridge was played in the Pioneer Hall Feb. 18 with top scores going to Mary Phelps and Pat Zaychkowsky and Donna Scherman and Norma Assmus. Feb. 20 found Maureen Campbell and Margaret Dyck with top score followed by Donna Scherman and Eric Callbeck.

Feb. 21 had four tables playing Canasta at the Do Drop In. High mark here went to Bob Lesko and Marion Ottas, then Vivianne Lesko and Marion Ottas. Third were Lorna Pearson and Barbara Soloninko. A variety of tasty snacks were set out to enjoy.

The deadline for nomination papers to be filed for mayor and one councillor in Meota was Tuesday, so hope there were a few brave souls out there who let their names stand.

There was a traffic jam at the Meota boat launch site Sunday, Feb.16 as folks partook of the Kevin Foster Ice Fishing Derby. 

A chartered bus from LLoydminster, carrying nearly a full load of mainly seniors, drove to Mayfair where tables were reserved for them all. Lorna Lavallee of North Battleford took care of tickets, money and reservations, etc. and everyone appreciated her special care and attention. The driver did an excellent job, too. What a great achievement by a small rural community, that was played three times, Friday and Saturday supper theatre and, Sunday, a noon meal followed by the play.

At the Friday evening event a plaque and moment of silence in memory of Norma Sherman was held as she was one of the main organizers and players until this year, since she has passed away late last year.
