Acadia Valley News May 4

Reported by Yolanda Kuhn

Forget Spring! Let’s just dive right into Summer! The temperatures this past week were anywhere from plus 20 to plus 30 degrees. I had to pull out the portable air conditioner already. I’m not complaining, I’m just saying. The grass has sure greened up since the heat was turned on as well. It’s already really dry out there. Seeding is in full swing in our neck of the woods as well. Please be cautious and watch for farmers moving equipment.

Condolences to Wally Skappak and family on the passing of Freddi Skappak on Friday April 28th. A funeral was held today at St. Mary’s Catholic Church followed by a luncheon at the hall.

There is a shower planned for Savannah Niwa next Saturday May 13th at The Acadia Valley Community Hall at 7:00 p.m.

Mark your calendars for July 1st as The Acadia Valley Rec. Club will be hosting their annual slow pitch tournament. There will be a huge inflatable obstacle course for the kids, beer gardens, dance, fireworks and more. Watch Facebook and The Oyen Echo for more details.

The Breaking Ground Dance Studio held their annual Recital last weekend at The Legion. I’m very proud of Miss Tonya and all the dancers for such a successful dance season. I’m personally a little sad that it’s come to an end. Thank you to everyone who attended the recital and supported The Breaking Ground Dancers.  Congratulations to Kenlee Wilson who was the recipient of the “Dolly Dance Scholarship” sponsored by The Hudson Family.

Thanks for reading this week.  I will leave you with this quote from Will Rogers, “The farmer has to be an optimist or he wouldn’t still be a farmer.”
