Ryder News for June 18, 2020
Once
again Ryder lucked out from the severe storms they were forecasting for
McLean, Mountrail and Ward counties plus numerous others in the state.
Some places received quite a bit of rain and tennis ball sized hail but
all I got here was .11 of an inch of rain and a little pea size hail. My
brother who lives 4 miles away didn’t get anything!
Sympathy
goes out to the family and friends of Russel Johansen, Minot, formerly
of Ryder. Russel passed away on Saturday, June 13 at a Velva care
center.
Janice
and John Warner traveled to Helena, Montana recently to lay Janice's
mother to rest. Margaret (Peggy) Kundy 89, passed away May 24th at her
health care facility in Helena. She spent her first 87 years living at
Three Forks, MT. My sympathy to the family.
Boy,
it is amazing how much “stuff” you accumulate in a camper. I’m still
cleaning mine out..finally got the bedroom done and a few things from
the living room but still have a lot to remove. Makes me tired just
thinking of it and then wondering where I am going to put all of it when
I do get it into the house!
DON’T
FORGET...The 118th Hiddenwood Old Settlers annual picnic will be held
on Sunday, June 21, 2020. Due to Covid-19 concerns the picnic will be a
little different this year. This year it will be an Old Fashioned
Picnic, bring your own basket lunch and you can sit under the shelters
at outside tables or in the main building. Coffee and bottled water will
be provided free of charge. There will be an 11 a.m. All Faith Church
Service. Bring a lawn chair for the outside service or you may also sit
in the main building. There will be a program after lunch. They welcome
your talent on stage! Pie and coffee for purchase in the afternoon.
Hiddenwood Picnic Grounds are 8 miles south of Makoti on County Road #9.
Practice Social Distancing...Take care...Stay Safe.
The
Ryder Museum is looking for a couple of things to be donated. They
would like to acquire an early Citizens Band radio base unit, one from
the 60s or 70s--should be intact but doesn't have to work. Would
consider a very early desktop computer; something like a Commodore 64.
Again, needs to look good but doesn't need to work. Also a wooden slide
rule.
They
also have some painting that needs to be done this spring. Much of it
could be done with a spray gun if someone has one but most could also be
done with a brush and roller.
The
Community Food Pantry located in the Ryder Community Gym will be open
once again the 4th Saturday of the month from 10-1 p.m.
There will be no Ryder Community Club Bingo in June or July, due to the pandemic.
Upcoming Events:
Ryder’s
Calvary church will continue to hold Parking Lot Drive-In Church
services at 10:30 every Sunday morning until further notice. Tune to
107.5 on your FM radio station to listen to the service.
June 21--11 a.m. All Faith Worship service at the Hiddenwood Picnic Grounds 8 miles south of Makoti on County Road #9.
