The Luseland Community Development Committee is once again organizing the Luseland Town-Wide Garage Sale on May 13. You can register your garage sale for $20 by contacting Krystal Bazylinski at 306-604-9249. You can also choose to rent a table at the Luseland Hall if you are a home-based business or just wish to set up tables to sell your wares. The Luseland Community Development Committee will also be holding a bake sale at the hall and is looking for volunteers to bring baked goods to the event. Please contact Kathy Wurz if interested in supporting our fundraiser. All proceeds will go towards the boiler replacement project at the hall. We will also have a donations table set up at the hall that day. The hall will not be able to make it through another winter season without replacing the boiler.
Rivers West District for Sports, Culture and Recreation announced their 2023 award winners through social media. Jean Halliday of Luseland was among two overall volunteer awards named.
