Old Timers Hit The Ice

The Wolseley Ice Kings have been hitting the ice over the past couple of weeks. Long time standouts like Rural Sports Hall of Fame member Dave Edgar and tireless community booster Ed Dureault are major motivators in the Old Timers efforts. And effort it is, as several of the players can make spirited rushes down the ice, but at this early point in the season attempts at real two-way play leaves much to be desired. The Ice Kings have several games are lined up, so if you want to see some hockey, not great hockey, but hockey nonetheless, come on out and cheer the Ice Kings on...they need it.

Promote Wolseley!

I grew up in the town and on a farm north of Wolseley. But, after many years living away I've moved back to this beautiful town with my wife Carla and four children. Our deep appreciation for the history and character of Wolseley combined with my maternal and paternal ancestoral links to the town made the move a logical choice for us. And Carla, who was raised in Ituna, shares my love for the lake and the wonderful buildings in Wolseley and we have been blessed with one of the character houses as our home.

But to just live here and enjoy the lake and the buildings is not enough. We want to see Wolseley, grow, prosper, and deify the trend of a struggling rural town.
And that is why we have started this blogsite. We intend on making this a forum to promote Wolseley.

We will post up-to-date information about Wolseley. We will publish photos and write about concerns and social issues important to citizens of Wolseley. And we will sell advertising space and links to businesses interested in promoting their goods and services to our readers.

So be sure to make The Wolseley Town and Country News one of your favorite places. And we'd be happy to send you notifications of updates to the blog so you're always tuned in to the happenings around town. Our website is www.wolseley.blogspot.com and our email is wolseleytowncountry@hotmail.com.

We'd love to hear from you and look forward to working together to promote Wolseley!
