It was So Close!

Our Pontiacs almost got the first one in a very close OT game against the Spruce Grove Saints in round two of the playoffs. The first period and 3/4 was a scoreless tie as the lads matched rushes with the Saints to keep it double Ought on the scoreboard. I missed the final period but it must have been a dandy with the teams tie 2 a piece at the end of 60 minutes. It must have been just like the Canada / USA final for the gold except the wrong team got the winning goal. It's Just one lads. There's another chance tonight at 7 p.m in the Grove. Split this series lads and bring'em back to our barn and we'll help with the enthusiasm. Remember, they put their hockey pants on the same way you do - One leg at a time. You Can Beat them!
Go Pontiacs!

There's some cool new technology here at the trade show in the C2 Field House with several solar energy companies.  Greg Sawchuck from Muriel Creek Farms has the neatest solar hot water heater I've ever seen. They're about $500 bucks and heat up 140 litres of water in about 40 minutes to about 150 degrees.
In case you miss the show he's going to be demonstrating his equipment again on May 2 out at his farm east of Ardmore just south of Alexander on Hwy 28.  The demo starts at 1 p.m.

Everyday of the trade show the Ag Society has been giving away $500 cash to attendees at the trade show. Saturday's winner was Marcia Plane from Cold Lake pictured below receiving her prize from Erwin Thompson, President of the Ag Society.

Friday nights winner was Annette Meashaw and the winner of the early bird exhibitor draw for $500 was Shane Kissel from Glendon Motor Sports. Exhibitors had to have their entry in prior to December 31 and Shane won in a reverse draw amongst eight other exhibitors who beat the deadline.  Congratulations to all the winners.

The Home Farm & Leisure Show wraps up today (Sunday) at 4 p.m.  Thanks to everyone who attended. See you all again next year. 
Don't forget Gardener's Day on March 27. Call Charlene at 780-826-3240 for more information.
