Famer's Market Sign

Last week the new Farmer’s 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.

On June 19th, 2010, at the Radio Television News Directors Association (RTNDA) National Conference in Edmonton, Dan McIntosh was awarded the Dave Rogers Award for the short feature on CTV Regina entitled “A School Harvest”.

This short feature aired in November 2009 and it focused on Charity Farms, a group of local farmers from Pangman and area who planted, grew, harvested and sold the grain as a fundraiser for the Pangman School.

Congratulations to Dan McIntosh, the CTV Regina team and Charity Farms.

On Friday May 7th, 2010, three grad twelve students graduated from the Pangman School.

The stage was decorated with lights, flowers and a beautiful backdrop with the following saying on it “Don’t wait the time will never be just right. Live life to the fullest right now”.

Congratulations to our 2010 Graduates!!

The last few days we have been waking up to snow here in Pangman. This morning it has been snowing quite a bit and there is lots on the ground as well.  Strange weather for May.

Lets hope that the warm May weather will return soon.

The new stage arrived last week just in time for the Dance Recital and Graduation.

The new stage has been provided for the community and school activities as part of the Charity Farms project.

Thank you Charity Farms.
