OPINION: Price of a life Page 4
The group usually tries to have a funspiel around St. Patrick’s Day and they did again this year on March 16. Sixty-four seniors came to participate in 16 teams, with many dressed in appropriate “green” for the day. Each team played three to eight end games with door prizes and other gifts were given out. Participants came from Hanna, Castor, Halkirk, Botha, Stettler, Drumheller, Delia, Byemoor, Big Valley and Endiang and one couple came all the way from Round Hill.

The small communities of Endiang and Byemoor have over the years combined the sports teams so their names became Endmoor, a name also adopted by the arena located in Byemoor (called the Endmoor Arena) and the seniors have also adopted the name for the Drop In.
