Cheers: Cheers to seeing kids out playing baseball and softball at ball diamonds in the community once again. It’s really encouraging to see them out having fun again. Cheers to the local . . .
It was a weird feeling on the weekend. It felt like 2019. I was actually out in the community and covering events. There was the Estevan Oilfield Technical Society’s Oilmen’s Golf Tournament, . . .
“We haven’t had a fundraiser in two years, and we … may not see anything until next year … and we have so many projects we work on all year long, that we really do depend on those donations and a lot of our fundraising efforts,” said president Wanda Michel. “This is one way we thought we could do it and keep everyone safe.” Tickets are currently on sale for the fundraiser and the jackpot is growing. The draw date will be June 2. Proceeds will go to several different initiatives. They have youth programs, including the conservation camp they have offered in previous years. The EWF isn’t sure if the camp will happen this year.
Cheers to the Estevan Oilfield Technical Society for holding the Top Gun Trap Shooting event. It was a great opportunity for people to try out a new sport and socialize with fellow oilfield workers. Cheers to the Warm Welcome Kitchen for their efforts to have this much-needed service for the community this year. The food was great every time out. Cheers to Taeghen Hack for the way in which she has represented Estevan water polo program during her first year of college. Good luck at the NCAA women’s water polo competition. Cheers to the number of people we saw in Estevan’s parks on the weekend, finding ways to be outside and exercising while following the public health orders.
