BALJENNIE — September has been birthday month for some of the residents of Battlefords West Place. Birthday cake and coffee were shared in the common room. Happy birthday to all.
Water fowl hunting season is open now. There have been big flocks of white snow and Canada geese about. They like to land on the swathed fields of grain or even in some fields that have been harvested. Ducks and gulls join the flocks ready to go south to warmer places.
The Western Development Museum volunteers have been kept busy working on the tractors. They have all been serviced before winter sets in. They have also worked on the last of the stationary engines and machines for use for History In Motion held Aug. 20.
Everything went as planned for History In Motion, but the attendance was much less than other years when two days of Those Were the Days were hosted.
There will be no field harvest or threshing demonstrations this season. The crop has been harvested and will supply horse people with feed.
They are also putting the last finishing touches to museum buildings in the village.
There are a few volunteers coming to the museum Monday to Thursday 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. There is a need to get some new projects work on.
October Fright Night has been cancelled for this season.
