Brrr! 29 degrees below zero Celsius , not counting the windchill. We prairie folk have to be tough to live in this environment. Please take note that the pond is being aerated for the fish stock and is not safe for walking on!

Oh, the Weather Outside Was Frightful!

December 13th Craft Sale
Despite the cold weather outside, there were a fair number of people out today to have a last chance at buying Christmas gifts and baking. A delicious lunch was provided by the crafters at the event.
The museum had a table selling their publications and sales items.

Northwest Network Meeting
Noreen and Lucille attended the Northwest Network meeting at the Unity Museum on Saturday.
These meetings bring together museums in our region for communicating and sharing common issues. Also MAS (Museums Association of Saskatchewan) was represented by Wendy Fitch, Director of Museum Operation Services, who brought us up to date on what is happening on the provincial scene and the plans for the future.
It is always a benefit to talk to others who share common problems and successes. The need to fund raise always results in some new interesting ways to make money.
The day is too short for what needs to be accomplished. I guess we talk too much!
We finished the day by going through a few of the buildings in the Unity Museum. What a lovely museum! (Of course, I am a bit biased when it comes to small museums!) It amazes me what a group of volunteers can accomplish. Great work, Unity! Even the cold weather didn't stop us from enjoying.

Interesting Photos Are Added to the Archives
We are moving our archival materials to the MAC this winter. Hopefully by organizing and storing them in a year round accessible building, research and future projects will be made a little easier to complete.
New photos of early Cut Knife residents have been recently donated and are being added to the digital collection. Included in these was a photo of an early business as well.
If you have any photos that you think may add to our pictoral record of the history of the area, we encourage you to let us add them to the archives.
We are also looking for photos of elevators of the Cut Knife area (Rockhaven, Wilbert, Newby, Tatsfield, Carruthers, Baldwinton, etc.) to complete a new display next summer.
Any information on Station Masters and Dray men would be appreciated.
