Which is it? In like a lion and out like a lamb or the other way around? I think most people would agree, however it goes, winter needs to be gone!
Rabbit Lake was roaring March 2 as the annual snowmobile rally, hosted by the Rabbit Lake and District Agricultural Association, hit the trails. The day began with a big breakfast provided by the Rabbit Lake Museum and the Rabbit Lake library. A total of 223 riders participated. The weather was perfect and the trails were great. After a super roast beef supper, the day’s prizes were awarded. The top prize of $5,000 was won by Alex Beauchesne, the second prize of $2,500 went to Victor and Diane Kuffert of Spiritwood and the third prize of $1,250 was won by Ron Hagen of North Battleford. The checkpoint prizes valued at $500 each went to Peter Lepage Sr and Charlie Smith of Rabbit Lake. The 50-50 winner, Jeremy Zinciki, went home $1,000 richer. The ticket seller prizes of $500 each were won by Jarett Prescesky, Doug Lamb, Dave Rodh/Shirley Price, Trevor Pauls and Papa Rene’s. All in all it was a great day and a total success.
On March 17, 32 Kaiser players gathered at Rose Gill Lodge for the St. Patrick’s Kaiser Tournament. The high woman was Jean Massett, the high man Albert Combres. The winner of the 50-50 in the amount of $35.50 was Albert Combres. Clifford Smith was the low score winner. The lodge provided a great lunch and people had a great time.

It is obviously springtime. Ice fishing shacks need to be off the lake by March 31. Some are saying that there is a fair amount of water on the ice as water is running on to the lake from the east. Hopefully the runoff from the snow pack finds its way to where it needs to go with no flooding.
