Ryder News for Nov. 21, 2019 


I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving as you probably won’t get another Ryder News column until after Thanksgiving. Eat lots of turkey and get stuffed, have some pie too. We have lots of time to diet before it’s time to eat again at Christmas!

Mini Bazaar shoppers


Well, Saturday the 16th was a fun day for people in Ryder. There was a Family Fun Day at the Ryder Community Center with games and bouncy houses for the kids. There were 30 turkeys given away at 3 p.m.  My brother was the first one to win a turkey and I just had to say, “Hmmm..a turkey for a turkey!” He wasn’t too impressed with my statement but his wife sure thought it was funny. They also sold cider, coffee, cookies and donuts. The kids had a fun time with the games and bouncy houses as did the adults with lots of visiting. 
Another fun time for Ryder people on the same day was the Mini Bazaar at the Senior Center with 11 vendors selling their wares. Avon, Jewelry and tree ornaments, quilts, jellies, baked goods, pickles, salsa, canvas paintings, fishing lures, wreaths and home decor, metal art, Christmas wrap, bows and a variety of Santa's, tumblers, hot packs, cocoa mix, magnets, woodworking items, dish towels and pot holders were some of the treasures you could find that day! A lunch of sloppy joe sandwich, chips, pickles and pop or coffee was also sold. A steady stream of people had a fun time visiting, shopping and eating! 

Karen Holt from Watford City visited at the Ron Peterson home last week. Karen and her brother Keith were in school in Harvey when Muriel taught there. When Muriel was a little girl, their mother was her babysitter and then Muriel taught her kids in Harvey. Arden Olson, Karen and Keith’s father, passed away last week and Ron and Muriel went to the service at the Vet’s Cemetery in Mandan on Wednesday. 

Ron and Muriel Peterson visited at the Marvin and Connie Allard home in rural Minot. Also there helping Connie celebrate her birthday were her sister, Adriene Miller and her sister-in-law Marlys Sundbakken both of Minot. 

Kallie and Kirby DesRoches spent the weekend with Gramma and Grampa Reinisch while Kelsey and Alex went to Minneapolis for a Timberwolves Game and Denver Broncos game.  I don't know which had the most FUN!!! 

Faye Karna spent last Saturday helping celebrate their oldest grandchild's 18th birthday. Keaton Erhardt is about ready to graduate from high school which is hard for Grannie Faye to believe. She had to help celebrate this year as he may not be around on that day next year as he plans to attend college in SD.
