Quilting retreat attracts 25 stitchers

Rabbit Lake News

It must be harvest time. The sun shines … the rain falls … the sun shines … the rain falls. This must all be frustrating for farmers trying to get ahead of winter and get the crops off the fields.

On Aug. 24, 25 and 26 many local ladies along with ladies from Radisson, Big River, Prince Albert, Martensville, Meota, North Battleford, Kindersley and Spiritwood gathered at the Rabbit Lake Community Hall for the annual quilting retreat. Twenty-five quilters worked on various quilts such as double wedding ring, bunny hugs, disappearing hour glass and town houses. Quilting will be starting soon for the winter season. For information contact Lynn Morrison at the Rabbit Lake Library.

The winner of the library’s treat of the month was Colton Balazsi.

This has been a difficult and frustrating time when it comes to having adequate drinking water in the community. Water line breaks have been stressful. Thanks to everyone who tried their best to conserve water. A big thank you goes to Spiritwood Co-op and to Cavalier Agro. The Co-op donated the two new water tanks to be used for hauling potable water and Cavalier Agro donated the fittings for the tanks.

Meeting Lake Regional Park has closed for the season. The dock has been pulled and quietness has returned to the lake.

Sept. 21 indicates the first day of autumn and the Rabbit Lake Community Hall is ready to usher the season in with the annual harvest supper. This year the supper is on Oct. 13. The hall board will also be holding a ham and turkey bingo on Nov. 3.
