MOETA — The newly organized local car club “The Lakeside Cruisers'' will host a second Meota car show. The bigger and better show will be on July 27 at the all diamonds and surrounding area. The executives of this new club are president Rick Kissick, vice-president Terry Tait, secretary Carole Chapman and promotions director Jenna Kissick. To date, a registration list of over 150 vehicles has been received. Neighbouring clubs from North Battleford and Lloydminster are giving full support to the new club. In this endeavour. To date three food trucks have given notice of their intent to attend so bring your appetites and families to make this a fun-filled outing. A special invitation was sent to last year's show stopper; a 1920s Cadillac Thi was one of the first V8's made and only two are known to still exist.
A variety of vehicles are expected to attend. They will include Walter’s 1928 Chev Coupe, other antiques, hot rods, fancy trucks and hot rods. Hopefully, they all fall under these categories.
Entries are free but donations can be given. Profits will be directed to children’s programs in the village. The display is to start at 10 am and run to 2 p.m. For further inquiries contact Rick Lissick at 780 214 0173 or email at Meota [email protected].
From our local news, we would like to welcome home some of our locals. Albert and Carole Huys recently returned from their Alaska cruise. They found their clothes packed with a toque and gloves where appropriate. Their tour of Denali National Park was good with great scenery. The ports of call all added to a good adventure. One downfall of the trip was the availability of superfoods on demand. A bit difficult on the scales so I have been told!! Dave and Marion Ottas returned from their west coast trip. They enjoyed their leisurely car ride down through the NW states and seeing the majestic redwood forests is always something which lingers in our memories.
Coming up on July 20 will be the Lion's annual Pasta night. This is the 10th of their supper nights. Some great local talent will entertain and funds raised will help in the building of the children’s playground project.
