Pangman

On Saturday, October 30th, 2010 we had our final Farmers Market for this year.

We celebrated the final Farmers Market with a Pancake Breakfast at 8:00 a.m. followed by the Market. We had a good turnout for the Pancake Breakfast. We had quite a few Vendors selling a variety of items including: baking, dolls, kitchen ware, books, crafts and more.

The Economic Development Board would like to thank all the Vendors who participated in this year’s Farmers Market and the customers and visitors to the market. They would also like to thank all those who helped with the Farmers Market, the Pancake Breakfasts, and Hamburger Sales we had during the summer.

Everyone is welcome to a Pancake Breakfast at the Community Centre on Saturday, October 30th, from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. , hosted by the Pangman and District Economic Development Board.

This Pancake Breakfast will be held in conjunction with the last Farmers Market.

We hope to see you there.

If you can help out at the Pancake Breakfast, please contact Eileen Tunall.

Since June 24, 2010, Jarryth from Ogema has been coming to the Pangman Community Centre.  She comes every other Thursday from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm.

It is important that you call her to make an appointment so she can arrange her schedule. If she does not have any appointments she may not come until the next scheduled Thursday. You can call her at  306-459-2877 to make an appointment.

We had a great turnout at the August 28th Farmers Market. There were many out of town visitors and many vendors with produce, crafts, jewellery, baking, books, and much more. As well, the Co-op Food Store and Service Centre had many clearance items set out.

The 50/50 winning ticket was 647879 for a total of $79.00 and was won by a resident of Avonlea. There is a 50/50 draw every Saturday at the Farmer’s Market.

The Farmers Market continues to be a success this year with the increased traffic on main street being a win/win situation for vendors, shoppers and the local businesses. The weather has been quite co-operative, but if it does rain, the Farmers Market is moved indoors. As an initiative of the Pangman & District Economic Development Board, the Farmers Market will run until Saturday, October 30.th, 2010.

On Saturday, August 7th, as part of Pangman Days, the Economic Development Board hosted a Pancake Breakfast from 8:00 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. About 60 people attended the breakfast.

As well the Farmers Market was held from 9:00 a.m. to noon. The vendors had a variety of items for sale including books, crafts, household items, jewellery and more. Thank you to the vendors and the buyers who came out to the Farmer’s Market.

Thank you to everyone who helped to make Pangman Days a success once again this year.

Debra Trylinski presenting Welcome Basket to Gavin & Debbie Porter

On Wednesday, July 7th,  members of the Economic Development Board presented a Welcome Basket to Gavin and Debbie Porter.

Gavin and Debbie immigrated from the United Kingdom 3 years ago and until recently were living in Regina. Debbie commutes to work at Pennington’s in East Regina and Gavin drives transport for Yanke, but presently is off work due to an injury.  They have a Chocolate Lab named Ruffus.

This past year we have a number of new residents in town and would like to say Welcome to all of them.  We invite all the new residents to a Barbeque on Friday, August 6th at the Gazebo in the Park. It is pot luck with the burgers and buns being supplied.  We hope to see all the new residents there.

Over the next few months the Economic Development Board will be presenting all the new residents from January 2010 with Welcome Baskets.

We hope that you are enjoying Pangman and hope to see you at the Barbeque and other town functions.

Famers Market Sign

Last week the new Farmers Market Signs were installed east and west of Pangman on Highway 13. The signs were installed above the Charity Farms signs. Thank you to Charity Farms for allowing us to do that.  Also a big thanks to those who helped put up the signs and to the Economic Development Board for ordering the signs.

We hope to see you at the Farmer’s Market which is on every Saturday from June to October from 9 a.m. to 12 noon.

At the last Economic Development Board meeting the concern for a local hairdresser was brought up. Many ideas were discussed and today the details have been finalized.

Starting Thursday June 24, 2010, Jarryth from Ogema will be at the Community Centre in the room behind the kitchen every other Thursday from 9:30 am to 3:30 pm.  Please call her at 306-459-2877 to make an appointment.
