Photos: Moose Mountain Lodge hosts Father’s Day tea

Food, drink, entertainment and socializing were all part of the event.

CARLYLE - On the afternoon of June 15, Moose Mountain Lodge residents, family and friends gathered to celebrate a Father’s Day tea and raffle sale.

The donut and dad event was the first held since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the smiles and laughter were evidence it a good time.

Fresh donuts and hot beverages as well as bottles of root beer were shared.

Donated prizes were raffled off with the proceeds supporting the activities department.

Voices and hands were raised as resident Ken Anderson auctioned a surprise item. Anderson is also their faithful Bingo caller Tuesdays and Fridays. Cliff and Dorothy Walker were determined to be the highest bidder and outbid the others, enjoying the winnings of a large outdoor camping chair and a basket full of items.

Anderson and his wife Peggy were congratulated on their 31 years of marriage.

Entertainment supplied by Fred’s Friends Band from Kipling completed the afternoon of fun and happy energy.

The lodge is grateful to community businesses for donating to the raffle: Avon, Ron’s Work Wear House, Pharmasave, Salon 206, Family Foods, Foster Audio & Video, Michael’s Coffee Shop, the Office Bar and Grill, Fireside, King’s Department Store, Activities Department,  Bear Claw Casino and Hotel and PRIMEC Controls.

Activity co-ordinator Arial Du along with her work partner and the continuing care aides were gearing up for the June 22 Pub Day where 40 residents, family and friends will partake in karaoke, a dart board and pub style food.
