On Sunday December 11, 2011 a group of 14 people went out caroling in Pangman. We started at the Catholic Church at 1:00 pm and stopped at many homes in Pangman where we sang Christmas Carols. Later we stopped at the Care Home and sang carols. The seniors at the home enjoyed our Christmas Caroling.
We returned to the Catholic Church at about 3:00 pm for hot chocolate, coffee, tea and goodies.
Thank you to the Catholic Church Ladies for organizing this event.
On Saturday July 16, 2011 Phil and I went on the Big Muddy Tour. It was a beautiful sunny (and hot) day for the tour. Thank goodness the United Church had booked an air conditioned Stagecoach Bus.
When we boarded the bus at the RM office it was already quite full with passengers from Weyburn. The bus also stopped in Ogema and picked up some more passengers, as well as our tour guide, Florence Galbraith. In Bengough we picked up our last passenger.
Our first stop was at Castle Butte, then we stopped at the Buffalo Effigy. Then it was off to Big Beaver for lunch. After lunch we walked over to the museum at Big Beaver and the store.
Our next stop was at the Old Porch Gallery. Tamela Burgess shared some of the outlaw stories from the area with us and then we toured the gallery where she has her artwork, some of her daughter’s photography and other items. There were also some photographs of Mantracker when they did an episode of the TV show at the ranch. Tamela has written a book about the colorful history of the Big Muddy entitled “The Big Muddy Badlands Past to Present“.
Our final stop was at the Paisley Brook SD #3434 school which was open from 1916 to 1957. On our drive home door prizes where drawn for.
A big thank you to the United Church for sponsoring this bus tour. Phil and I really enjoyed it and would recommend that if you have not seen the Big Muddy you should definitely take a tour of the area.
We are planning a tour of The Big Muddy Valley on July 16th, 2011. The tour will leave Weyburn at 8:30, Pangman at 9:30, etc. The cost is $45 dollars/person. It is sponsored by the Pangman United Church. There is limited sitting, so tickets have to be paid for by July 9th.
We will see Castle Butte, the Buffalo Effigy, the museum at Big Beaver and the store as well as more attractions. Please contact Darlene Kessler at 442-2180 to have a seat reserved.
On Wednesday, May 11th the United Church hosted a soup, chili and pie lunch at the church from 11 to 1 pm.
Quite a few people came out for delicious homemade soup, chili, buns and pies. They would like to thank everyone who came out.
This evening my husband and I went to the Pancake Supper at the Holy Angels Catholic Church.There was pancakes, sausages, muffins, tea cake, fresh fruit, juice and coffee.
The supper was delicious and we had a nice time. This was the first year that my husband and I were able to go to the pancake supper as my husband used to work in Regina and did not get home until the supper was over.
Thank you to the Ladies of the church for putting on this supper. We will definitely be going again next year.
The World Day of Prayer Interdenominational service was held at Holy Angels Catholic Church this year. About 20 people attended the service.
This year’s Ecumenical Service was How Many Loaves Have You?
During this year’s service, we were asked the questions:How many loaves have you? What are your gifts? What can you share?
After the service coffee, juice, homemade bread and cheese was served in the hall.
