Ryder News for Dec.
7, 2017
First of all, I must apologize for putting
the date of bingo wrong in my Upcoming Events. My mind tends to space stuff out
once in awhile, must be my age, after all I am pushing 40!
They say, “No News Is Good News” but not in
this case! If I don’t start getting news from my readers, there isn’t going to
be a Ryder News column anymore!

Knocking down Ryder’s old Firehall
|
 |
Burning what’s left of Firehall
|
Last week the city decided to knock down
and burn the old Ryder Firehall. The Ryder Creamery used to be on the south
side of the building but they tore that down about 15 years ago. They tore down
this building the end of November as the cement in the walls was starting to
crumble and deteriorate which made it dangerous.

tape, a pen that gets lost many times, a paper cutter (neat little gadget),
bows, and of course gifts to be wrapped. Help!
