Carlyle Observer

Sometimes a near-perfect event comes along. I experienced one of those this past weekend while attending a District Toastmaster's Conference.

Arcola Fair and Stampede Inc. will be holding a Pitchfork Fondue on June 16 at Prairie Place Hall. Forget the giant tub of cheese; this will be a delicious steak dinner.

Carlyle Elementary School held their second Celebration of Learning assembly on May 11. Each class presented something that they had learnt within the classroom. They did this through song, dance, and various other forms of presentations.

The Carlyle Pentecostal Assembly had approximately 20 youth take part in last weekend 30-hour-famine. The group began the fast Saturday morning, and broke it with a Mother's Day pot luck Sunday.

The grade 7 and 8 classes attended the Pow-Wow at Whitebear last week. It was an opportunity which was both entertaining and educational. The drums, the costumes, and the dancing were all amazing to hear and see.

Arcola Skating Club is proud to announce that two of their skaters received awards at Skate Canada Saskatchewan's Annual General Meeting Banquet held April 28th in Regina.

Tianna Kennett, Jackie Hoffman, Shane Hirtle, Santanna Mills, Brett Turgeon, Luke McCrimmon, Hayley Englot, and Brayden Rowley as members of the Model United Nations (MUN) at Manor School have been working hard all year long.

The Women's Wellness Day that was held at Kenossee Inn on May 5 was a great success. With a morning of thick fog about 90 women were able to attend, many impressed with what the day brought.

During this week, the Safety Team visited towns competing in the SGI seatbelt challenge, an event held each year to encourage seatbelt use. This first visit was a traveling car seat safety clinic.

Friday, May 5, saw a snooker tournament and lunch held by the Carlyle Happy Gang. The snooker tournament was a part of the Senior Olympic Games. The Saskatchewan Senior Fitness Association (SSFA) hold the games for anyone 55 and over.
