OYEN LODGE NEWS: Celebrating Stampede and Rodeo Month

By Dianne Spath

Hello, everyone. The weather has been a bit warm lately. I enjoy the warm weather, but it’s just a little too hot for some people. The residents have been enjoying their walks outdoors and sitting in the gazebo on those beautiful sunny days. I hope everyone had a great Canada Day weekend, whether it was camping or just celebrating Canada Day.

Monday morning there was Church with Father Rodell. There were no other activities, Dianne was away.

Tuesday was Canada Day and some of the residents enjoyed the BBQ lunch at the museum. There were no activities on that day as it was a holiday.

Wednesday morning was exercises followed by crossword games and then we enjoyed an outdoor walk. In the afternoon there were shuffleboard games.

Thursday started with exercises, followed by baking and then some decorating for the stampede theme in the Lodge. A lot of cowboy, western décor has been put up to celebrate stampede and rodeo month. The stampede activities will start on July 7th-11th.

Friday started with horse races, # 5 horse Silver, was the top winner that day. In the afternoon there was card bingo.

The Oyen Lodge would like to welcome Barb Stober. “If the Shoe Fits” company will be at the Oyen Lodge on July 16th, from 10:00-2:00 p.m.
