Heather Curling Club in Vegreville Hosts Mens and Ladies Bonspiel Michelle Pinon News Advertiser Members of the Heather Curling Club in Vegreville hosted its annual Mens and Ladies Bonspiel from Feb. 7-9. A total of 10 ladies teams and 12 mens teams competed in the three day event. Anita Kuffert, President of the Heather Curling Club, said the event would not have been possible without the assistance of members who volunteered their time to assist members of the organizing committee. This was the third time the mens
and ladies bonspiels had been combined into one bonspiel. Kuffert said they are trying to get more youth involved with the club and had two high school teams participate in the event. Kuffert said the bonspiel is a good opportunity to socialize, keep physically active and raise community spirit. The club is also hosting the Zone 7 high school play down on Feb. 19 and 20. The event will feature eight boys, eight girls and eight mixed teams.
The Ladies A Event was sponsored by Fisher Chiropractic. Members of the winning team (Back row from left to right): Colleen Weder, Quinci Taylor, Anita Kuffert and Joanne Veldkamp.

Michelle Pinon News Advertiser There was a smorgasbord of events during Family Day in Vegreville on Feb. 17. More than 300 people came to the Vegreville Social Centre to enjoy pancakes, sausages, eggs and hashbrowns served up by members of Vegreville town council and members of County of Minburn county council. Councillor Dave Berry came up with the idea of a pancake breakfast back in 2014. On average, 250 people attend the pancake breakfast each year. All of the food items are purchased locally. This year they went through seven large boxes of sausages, 20 bags of hashbrowns, and 50 dozen eggs. There was a silver collection for the Vegreville Food Bank. In total, $1,100 and several large plastic totes of non-perishable items were donated to the food bank. Perogies and Jam hosted the entertainment portion of the festivities, and
