RADISSON — A bridal shower for Danika Pidwerbesky, daughter of Pamela and Darwyn of Radisson, was held recently in the Goodrich Centre in Radisson. The centre was decorated with coloured pictures of seeds and vases of tulips, along with a board covered with packages of seeds for the ladies to take home.
Her sister Emma introduced special guests and gave a bit of history of Danika, who teaches at Maymont School and is marrying Mason Jackson, a journeyman mechanic who works at a body shop in the RM of Great Bend. Their wedding is in July.
The first game was What’s In Your Purse and the prize was won by Kim Anderson. Everyone enjoyed lunch of buns, raw veggies, fruit and a variety of sweets along with punch. Some games played after were Over or Under, Would She Rather and Word Scramble, then Danika opened gifts, thanking everyone for coming and for all who helped with the shower.
The Borden Friendship Club held their monthly business meeting on May 14, in the seniors’ centre and made plans for the summer. Donations of $300 were made to the Flower Barrel Committee and $200 to Borden School for awards night in June.
