MEOTA — What a wonderful day to celebrate with all our worthy mothers. Not meaning to exclude anyone, as all have given us such great gifts. Spring is such a great time with the green grass spreading its welcome carpet and the trees showing off their new leaves. The greenhouses are busy with the prospect of new orchards and dazzling displays of beautiful flowers. The planting season seems to be early this year with many farmers out in the fields. A few locals have planted potatoes, onions and other hardy vegetables. A couple of people have gone all in and took their chances with fickle nature and planted everything.
A house foundation on second Avenue West is making steady progress. The foundations have been poured and gravel spread prior to basement walls being erected.
Annette Duhaime and her a cappella group recently travelled to Edmonton to compete in the Western Canada competition. The group of 16 take their singing seriously and meet twice as week to train. They were happy to meet their objectives.
The Meota golf course is in full swing. The seniors meet weekly on Thursday at 9:15 a.m. The men's "pins and skins "will start May 16. Ladies’ league play will commence this week.
In seniors’ golf, Jack Day, Kent Morton, Lynn Boucher and Janice Morton shot a score of 40, tied with Bernie Gregoire, Gerry Goodheart, Marcell Duhaime and Lucille Gregoire . The Day team took home the money on a coin flip. A good time was enjoyed with good weather, great friends and the golf course in exemplary shape for this time of year.
