Pioneer Day 2014
Our 2014 Pioneer Day event started off with rain, cool temperatures and some wind. The volunteer breakfast crew consisted of John & Justine Wieler, George Friesen with his sons, Neil Bergen (Bergen Financial) from Fort St. John, BC, Peter & Martha Letkeman, Jacob & Sarah Wiebe, Peter & Eva Krahn, and Wilmer & Mary Driedger. They arrived at 7:00 a.m. and served hot coffee, pancakes, eggs, and sausages from 8:00 – 10:00 a.m. About 180 brave souls came out in spite of the weather to enjoy the efforts of the breakfast crew. The rest of the day’s planned activities were cancelled due to the weather, except for the lunch which was moved indoors into the small hall in the La Crete Heritage Centre. Here the public was served their choice of vareniki with ham, full rullkuchen, chili, pumpkin pie, hot dogs, varscht schnetji, soups, baked goodies, etc… After lunch the public could go view the Fall Fair entries on display in the large hall from 1:00 – 5:00 p.m.
