Youngstown News March 30

By Lydia Goodbrand

With the increased temperatures over the the past few days, it appears as though spring may have finally arrived in the Youngstown area. In light of the dry conditions, however, please note there is a fire advisory for SA 2,3, and 4 effective March 21. Hopefully we receive some much-needed moisture in the coming weeks and months.

At the last Town Council meeting on March 1, there was discussion regarding decreased MSI capital funds and vehicle charging units. New bylaws were passed, and it was decided that a new snowblade would be purchased from Venture Fabrication. Also, the bulk water fill coin slot will not be upgraded to a card unit due to financial considerations. The next meeting is April 5.

We are also excited to introduce a new business to the area - A Diamond N Farrier Services! Please contact Ainsley Nelson at 403-854-8031 for all your farrier needs. Also, just a reminder that the Small World Cafe is open 9:30 - 4:30 Tuesday and 9:30 - 5:30 Wednesday through Friday. If you’re in town, be sure to stop in and enjoy the daily special and a variety of other items. Call 403-435-0089 to order.

As summer approaches, many people are starting to plan camping trips. If you are thinking of spending some time at Prairie Oasis Park this year, online reservations open April 13, 9 AM at https://www.campspot.com/book/prairieoasispark. 55 reservable sites are available this year.

Thanks for reading. Have a good week everybody.
