Michelle Pinon News Advertiser The Grow Arena Project wrapped another successful season on Sept. 21. Organizer Terry Kitz said, “This year’s crop was canola and it started out very well. The extreme summer heat took its toll on it and reduced the yield. We were hoping to reach 50 plus bushels per acre yield but ended up with half of it. We were fortunate enough to have an extremely high sale price that made up some of the difference. Once again thanks to Cargill for purchasing the 2021 crop. We were able to net nearly $70,000 that will go directly to the Two Hills Centennial Arena renovation. We are happy to report that the arena
has been nearly completed as of October 2020 and has been used sparingly due to the pandemic. But we are hopeful that we can all get through this trying time and find a new normal. This year we are planning to move ahead with our minor hockey, pond hockey, and adult hockey programs at the arena. Of course, there will be some adjustments made on how we are allowed to operate but we are optimistic.” He added, “We would especially like to reach out to everyone who participated in the “sponsor an acre” event we ran through our Facebook page this spring. It was all these great people who were able to show their unwavering support for our cause.”
