Spring is in the air and the days are getting longer. It’s been melting quite a bit this week. The outdoor rink is now closed for the season.

Many locals 75 and over have received their first dose of the Covid-19 vaccine this past week. Reminder that anyone born 1946 and earlier is eligible for the vaccine now. You can book online at www.ahs.ca/updatebooking or call Health Link at 811.

The Acadia Municipal Library is open: Tuesdays 1:00pm-7:00pm, Wednesdays and Thursdays 3:30pm-6:30pm. Call 403-972-3744 for curbside pickup, including children’s books, paper backs, dvd’s, audio books and much more!

The Ice to Dice Fundraiser is well underway. By the time you’re reading this it will be finished. I will report all the winner’s in next week’s news. This month’s 50/50 was $335 and Dean Loran was the winner. We will be selling 50/50’s again this month. The next draw will be made April 5th. You can get your tickets at The Store, Skappak’s Farm Supply or from a Rec. Club member.

Congratulations to Vida Vansickle who won the Crossroads Beef Expo Raffle. She chose the cash prize of $2,000 rather than use the $3,500 certificate toward the purchase of an animal from one of the Expo exhibitors.

Thank you to the Oyen Evangelical Missionary Church for their generous donation to Warren Peers School’s hot lunch program.

Sending thoughts and prayers to Bruce Dillabough who is in Calgary hospital having heart surgery after suffering a heart attack earlier this week.

Also thinking of Louise Niwa who is recuperating at home with a broken leg and ribs after an episode with a cow last week.

Thanks for reading this week. I will end with a quote from Dr. Suess, “Oh, the things you can find, if you don’t stay behind.”.
