Let there be Corn!

This was a terrific corn year with plants in the area reaching unprecedented heights and there are cobs 'o plenty. If you are a corn addict like a lot of us you should be able to eat your fill this Saturday, September 25 over at the Bonnyville Seniors Centre. Tickets are just $10 and available at the door. The Corn Feast starts with cocktails at 5 p.m. followed by delicious golden corn. Put in your best chompers and get on over there.

Saturday is going to be busy with lots of other things to do so pace yourself. Our ever loving Pontiacs are in town to host the Sherwood Park Crusaders.  Coming off a successful win against Ft. Mac on Tuesday night our team is chomping at the bit to move up in the standings. The intensity they played with last night was exciting to watch and bodes well for a fantastic year in the AJHL. Game time is 7 p.m. Go Pontiacs!

Let's hope the weather smartens up so our farm community can get harvesting. The local Canada Foods Food Grains group will be attempting to harvest their field just east of Bonnyville about 4 miles on Highway 28. Volunteers will bring their combines and should get it done in a day or less. In addition, there will be an old fashioned threshing bee and a field lunch. Everyone is welcome to attend. Bring the kids and show them the Old and the New in farming methods. Proceeds from the sale of the grain that's harvested will be matched four to one to provide food for countries who are in dire need. To date, our local group have raised nearly 1 million dollars. Come on weather shine on these good people.

Here's a quick little story for you. Enjoy!
A rancher needs a bull to service his cows but needs to borrow the money from the bank. The banker who lent the money comes by a week later to see how his investment is doing.
The farmer complains that the bull just eats grass and won't even look at the cows. The banker suggests that a veterinarian have a look at the bull.
The next week the banker returns to see if the vet helped. The farmer looks very pleased: "The bull has serviced all my cows, broke through the fence, and has serviced all of my neighbor's cows."
"Wow," says the banker. "What did the vet do to that bull?"

Got Milk?

"Just gave him some pills," replied the farmer.
"What kind of pills?" asked the banker.
"I don't know," said the farmer. "But they sort of taste like chocolate."
Have a great week. Dave.
