Ryder News for Aug. 11, 2016
Not much to share for news this week either.
We did manage to get some camping and fishing in. Staci
caught a nice walleye and everyone (except me, no license) manage to catch
perch and bluegill.
We also had some major boat trouble and John and Kenny did a
lot of fixing but it finally runs and sounds fantastic. There was a little
episode right before we left that had all of us in the boat going for a joy
ride when the motor just up and quit and would not start. Thankfully there is a
trolling motor on the boat and that is what got us back to shore. Later after
exploring the problem, it was discovered that there was a kink in the gas line
and easily fixed!

We are so proud of our Prairie Ryders 4-H Club. They
competed at the 4-H District
Communication Arts contest last month. They all did an awesome job! We commend
them for their courage to speak and perform in front of an audience and judges,
a situation that most people fear. Daniel Starks, Trent Williams, and Lora
Rockwell took 1st place in their division, earning them a spot at the State
contest. On Sunday July 24th, Daniel,
Trent, and Lora were among over 80 4-H'ers from across the state who gathered
at the ND State Fair grounds to participate in the 2016 ND 4-H State
Communication Arts contest. Daniel won two Award of Excellence ribbons for Teen
Broadcasting and Teen Interpretive Reading. Trent received an Award of
Excellence ribbon for Pre-teen Dramatic Presentation and Lora earned an Award
of Excellence ribbon for Pre-teen Prepared Speech. (A panel of judges reviewed
each presentation and only the top 30% of 4-H Youth won the Award of
Excellence, the top ribbon in this contest. ) I'd say Daniel, Trent, and Lora
represented their club, community, and county well!

I went to the playground here in Ryder beside the Ryder
Community Club/Gym and took a picture of the updated swing set. It has all new
and modern seats for the kids to use and enjoy courtesy of a Community Club
fundraiser and the talented labor of Dave Kimball.
There will be NO soup and sandwich in August and the food

trucks and all the other farm equipment.
