A small-town quilters’ retreat was held in Radisson from May 3 to 5, from 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. each day in the basement of St. Paul’s Lutheran Church with quilters from many areas of Saskatchewan participating.

I’ve been alerted of the many restrictions on fires in most rural municipalities. Central Saskatchewan has been dry. Fires on Moosomin and Saulteaux First Nations near Cochin didn’t result in smoke in this area.

Grass fires are common in the spring so please be cautious.
