After being postponed by bad weather on February 24, the
Rutland Community Club Family Fun Night was not going to be defeated by the
latest snowfall. Fun Night on March 10th drew a large crowd of kids,
parents, grandparents and Rutland residents for the annual festival. Katie
McLaen and Morgan Peterson spearheaded the event with the help of a crew to run
the games and serve the free-will spaghetti feed. The kids took their chances
playing bean bag toss, putt-putt golf, fish pond, kerplunk and plinko to win
tickets to enter for prizes or play the cakewalk, fishing booth or claw machine
or just get some good old-fashioned cotton candy. It takes volunteers to pull
off events and the workers included Bonnie Anderson, Tyler Banish, Marcia
Brakke, Carolyn Christensen, Abbie Erickson, Lori McLaen, Sara Pavik, Ione
Pherson, and Bert Siemieniewski. Larry Christensen and Hal Nelson operated the
bingo games: Tony Banish won the first bingo and Yvonne Johnson won the
blackout. All the kids went away with lots of goodies and prizes; the coveted iTunes
gift card winner was Eli Olson. Katie will make a report on the event at the
next Rutland Community Club meeting.
The March Sargent County Breakfast was held on Monday, March
11 at the Golden Corral in Mesa and Curt Larson submitted a report: This month was our largest attendance of
the winter season. The following were present: Charles Anderson & Patty
Boehm; Al Ciota & Clarice Ordahl; Jim & Kathryn Gaukler; Carolyn
Hopewell; Curt & Renee Larson; Duane & Sharon Lock; David & Lavonne
Nelson; Orvis & Alphie Pearson; Pat Prindiville; Clarice Renschler; Kenny
& Faye Waloch; Gwen Young; Harold Young. Guests: Dorn Crandall; Carol
Kramer, daughter of Clarice Renschler; Carlie Jelacie, daughter of Carol
Kramer. Many will be going back to North Dakota in the next few weeks. This is
my last meeting for the season, as Renee and I are leaving on April 2 for
Orlando, Florida first before driving back to Forman. We are hoping the snow
will be melting before our arrival during Holy Week. That’s all from sunny
Arizona and remember…keep smiling; people will be wondering what you’re up
to. Curt Larson
