The Fred Light Museum board got together for supper on Wednesday, Dec. 6, at the Alex Dillabough Centre, and to spread the word about their fundraiser calendars.

The goal of the calendar is to give “an overview of the interesting history of Battleford,” Donna Laycock said. Each month features a historical photo of a recognizable Battleford landmark. Photos include the Battleford ferry, the post office mid-construction, Battlefords Furniture when it was a rink, and many others.

Calendars are $20 each, and there will be two $50 draws per month, with the exception of December, in which there will be a $100 draw.

Fred Light Museum manager Bernadette Leslie said Laycock, the granddaughter of Fred Light, spearheaded the calendar.

A big project this year for the museum is the blacksmith shop, and Chair Floyd Anderson said a future project is to put a roof over three church bells.

The board also wants everybody to know about the gazebo, and how it could be used for events such as weddings.  

Laycock said to contact any board member to purchase calendars. They'll also be available at Town Hall.
