We all have dreams of things we would enjoy doing at one time in our lives. Not all dreams come true, but this one did and now it's here for everyone to enjoy.

Fall is here in all its glory. The trees have turned to such beautiful colours of orange, gold and crimson everywhere. I guess we have Indian Summer now, as the weather has been so warm and lovely too.

Happy Thanksgiving to all. We have much to be thankful for at this time. Students will be enjoying a day off. Residences in the village have been changing hands. There are no vacancies in the village at present.

I have recently joined the team at the Allen Sapp Gallery and the Chapel Gallery as the curator/manager of galleries.

Everything is quieter in the countryside now that harvesting is nearing completion. Very few fields are yet to be done.

Towering above the landscape, a beacon for prairie travellers, the grain elevator has come to symbolize the settlement of the Canadian West in the early years of the 20th century.

Betty and Stuart Hanson of Deslisle were to see Milt and Lil McMillan on their way to their cabin at Uncha Lake, B.C. Bradie Reeds of Lloydminster stopped in to visit Grandma and Grandpa McMillan.

At 97, she's the eldest of her many sisters in the Battlefords who have found being a part of the international women's sorority Beta Sigma Phi enriches their lives.

Are you itching for Halloween yet? Costumes and decorations are already in the stores so you had better move fast this year because the Children's Wish Foundation North Battleford is holding their 3rd annual "Wishmaker Walk for Wishes" Oct. 13.

Well there are still some folks trying to get their harvest completed so we will continue to hope and pray for the weather to co-operate through to their completion of this important task at this time of year.
