MEOTA — The Prairie Women on Snowmobiles enjoyed their morning coffee with Pearl’s homemade doughnuts, Feb. 6, in the Meota Community Complex. There were 10 ladies who were riders, along with their staff and crew of workers. The men had gone ahead with the sleds on a flat deck trailer, to meet them again in Glaslyn for lunch.
The women came from North Battleford in a van but rode the last leg of their journey from Moose Country Station to Meadow Lake on their snow machines. They had started out from Nipawin, eight days earlier. The women loaded up a box of fresh doughnuts to take to the men.
They accepted several donations and sold raffle tickets on a pink quilt that was made and donated by the community of Strasbourg. They also had for sale toques and cookbooks. The draw for the quilt was made in Meadow Lake and won by Bonnie Brooks of Meadow Lake.
Riding in the van sometimes gave them a chance to visit with people at their stops, and everybody has a cancer story to tell.
The event was hosted by the hall committee and, though the turnout was small, everyone got to visit with one or more of the group and had a very nice sociable time.
