SIBBALD NEWS: Locals participate in Beef Expo

By Lee Switzer

Do you feel it? The extremely cold weather has broken today. It is glorious to be outside without being bundled to the nines and feeling like your lungs are frozen. Soon, March sunshine will be longer and stronger, and winter will seem to be in the rearview mirror. Of course, we all know that more cold snaps may come, but they won’t be as furious as these last weeks have been.

Beef Expo was held last weekend at the Crossroads Center in Oyen, with the Pen Show on Saturday and the Youth Show on Sunday, February 16. The cold didn’t keep away the crowds or the animals. Local families helping out, displaying cattle, and ensuring that everything ran smoothly included Trent & Marika Lyster & family, Scott & Shelaine Woods and family, Greg & Jerilynn Norris and family, and Kerry & Brittany Molzan and their kids. If I missed anyone else, sorry in advance. Such a large undertaking requires lots of volunteers and help!

By the time you read this, the Sibbald Community Club Sled Rally will have taken place. After cancelling two dates due to crazy weather, the third time will be a charm. 

Funny, my sisters and I were texting about garden plants and seeds during the frigid snap. Hope springs eternal in these parts. Take care everyone.
