Ryder News for June 22, 2017
Shelsey and Julie Brandvold
attended the TCCU picnic and took some pictures for me. I had planned on going
but my Dr. changed my chemo appointment to Thursday instead of Friday so that
kind of ruined my plans! Julie also did a nice little write up about the TCCU
picnic.

About 65 local residents
attended the Town and Country Credit Union Member Appreciation Picnic held in
the Ryder City Park on Thursday. Three guys (Mark, Matt and Brett) from the
Minot location came out and cooked up brats and hotdogs on the grill. Brenda Novodvorsky
and Robyn Erdman served chips, cookies, pop and water and welcomed the guest
with nice giveaways and a chance to win a gas fire pit. The winner of the fire
pit was Kathy Kimball from Ryder. It was a
beautiful day to sit and visit with all the locals and have a bite to eat.

Kenny and I along with the
McGrath’s attended the 115th annual Hiddenwood Picnic. There were well over 100
people registered so there was a lot of visiting going on. John Warner was the
preacher for the morning service in the little church and there were also
speakers in the big building so others could enjoy it as well.
After the service then it
was time to eat...what a variety of food for this potluck picnic. I am sure
everything tasted wonderful but I didn’t have enough room in my stomach to
sample everything! After everyone was totally stuffed by all the good food it
was time for the talent portion of the program. Shane Larson was the MC again
this year and told a few jokes and then introduced Shelby Huston, 2016
International Fiddle Champion and Minnesota State Fiddle Champion. Her dad
accompanied her on his guitar. She was fantastic and so young having just
graduated from high school.
There were lots of door
prize giveaways and I think everyone got something! They had great raffle
prizes again this year which only cost $1 per ticket. Some of the prizes to be
raffled were: State Fair Pass, Hostfest tickets, tabletop electric grill,
electric griddle, a wooden sign and then of course some kids prizes.
Again this year as
always were the foot races with all participants receiving a quarter and then
the quarter toss into the grass so the kids could search for quarters.
Hopefully their parents checked them real well afterwards for wood ticks!
