Out And About: There are carols in the air

Yes, with the first snow of the season and the brisk temps. (Did I say brisk? They're down right frigid.) Anyway, back to the story. With thoughts of sugar plums dancing in our heads what better than a Christmas concert or Chorale Fest.

Mark this date on your calendar and join the Bonnyville Society Singers for their annual Christmas Charale Fest - December 2 at 7 p.m. in the Centennial Centre Field House. They'll be taking a silver collection at the door that will be donated to the Knights of Columbus and the Christmas Hamper program. Great entertainment and a terrific cause.

Not to get ahead of myself but here's an early announcement for New Year's Eve so you can shop now for that new frock. The Sandy River Community group will be holding a New Year's Eve Dinner and Dance at the Sandy Rapids Hall on Highway 55 west of Iron River. There'll be cocktails, dinner and dancing to the music of Tiffany Dowhan. I'll have more info a little later on as they are just getting the tickets printed so I don't want to rush anyone.

Lots of annual meetings coming up as well like the Bonnyville Ag Society on Wednesday, November 24 upstairs in the board room at C2. Then the Bonnyville Cold Lake PC Association hold their meeting the next night at the Bonnyville Senior Citizens centre at 7 p.m. And, the Bonnyville Pro Rodeo and Chuckwagon Association will hold their AGM on Thursday, December 2 at the Neighborhood Inn. Busy Town, Busy People.

Took a quick trip to Cold Lake to see some of my clients and low and behold, its paved all the way to the lake now. The wet summer weather held that job up interminably and it was getting treacherous or at least really rough to drive on. Its going to be beautiful when they get it all finished. (I'm thinking next spring now).
