Thank You to Kay Egland for Donating to the Tea Room

As a member of the Memorial Hall Board and someone who uses the Tea Room, may I say a big "Thank You" to Kay for generously donating all those very nice dishes for the use in the Memorial Hall Tea Room. It will get lots of loving use by the people of Eastend.

Mini Chuck wagons are coming

They have been working away in the heat to build a new food booth and whole raft of improvements to the Eastend Rodeo Grounds and there are more facility improvements coming from the hard workers of the Friends of Pine Cree and the Light Horse Improvement Society. They have two days of fun rodeo action along with dog trials, live music from HWY 13, and plenty of hot delicious food. This is a fantastic opportunity to see the living history of the cowboy era and have a great party with your friends and it happens on June 29 and 30. Next up at the rodeo grounds is the annual horse show on Sunday July 22 and then the Little Britches Rodeo will be August 18 & 19,

Chamber of Commerce Spring Event A Success

A large crowd of over 75 attendees convened up at the T.rex Discovery Centre on Friday for the Chamber of Commerce "Citizen of the Year" along with Youth and Adult Volunteers and Business of the Year presentations. It was a wonderful night, very moving and touching to see everyone support all the nominees. It's obvious the real winners are we the people who don't volunteer as much as the nominees. They are the ones getting things done around town whether it's volunteering on committee or helping people and bringing smiles to peoples faces on a daily basis. Jeff and Trina from Kranky's did a great job providing the beer and wine tasting and the atmosphere at the T.rex Centre was lively and bustling with the energy of the crowd visiting and tasting their wines before the presentations. We have lots of photos inside and thanks to Shannon Morris for the photos of the winners.
