Wolseley Architecture = Visitors


The other day as I pulled out of my yard I saw a car stopped by the old Court house. I ran a quick errand and on the way home saw the car had moved to the Town Hall. I stopped to chat with the driver, a young fellow armed with an awesome looking camera. He told me he was from Manitoba and was traveling on his honeymoon. He said he had seen photos of Wolseley on the Internet and being interested in architecture, wanted to stop and take some photos while his wife walked the swinging bridge. I shared a little town history with him and suggested a few more gems he ought to check out. I enjoyed meeting the young fellow and trust he has a great little story about Wolseley when he gets back to Manitoba.

Figure Skating Club Bottle Drive a Success



Saturday morning groups of Figure Skating Club members canvassed the town asking for donations of cans and bottles. Several truck loads were donated and delivered to the collection depot at the Bradley shop south of the highway. Parents and children worked side by side filling a horse trailer with cans and a SUV and utility trailer with bottles. The response was great and appreciated. And this parent got the added benefit of a great walk on a beautiful morning in Wolseley.
