Rod and Kathy (Kronbach) Kallestad of Garrison had visitors the weekend of November 6th through the 8th. Jenny and Carter Brossart of Minot and Henry and Lucy Oberdick of Surrey came down Friday night to stay the weekend. They played in the park in Garrison on Saturday (even though it was only 33° but the grandkids didn’t care), went for some rides in the Rhino side-by-side, and attended drive-in church in Ryder on Sunday morning.
A former Makoti resident, Wilmar Schenfisch, passed away on Thursday, Nov. 12th in a Minot assisted living facility. That’s all the information I have right now. My sympathy goes out to his family and friends.
The Dickens Festival that has been held yearly in Garrison for quite a few years has been cancelled this year due to the outbreak of Covid 19.
Ryder’s eleven year old Cash Petersen with his motorcycle and his dad Tony Petersen is heading to Florida this week to compete in the Mini OS Nationals. This is the 49th annual winter olympics and it starts Monday and runs through Thanksgiving Day at Gatorback Cycle Park in Alchua, Florida. The best amateru riders from around the world compete all week long in what’s dubbed as the “Mini Os”. They have an awards ceremony at the end of the racing week.
I finally got my good radio over to my new house and my son Rick mounted it under the cabinet in the kitchen for me on Saturday. That same day, David Banks came over and put up my living room, family room and patio door blinds for me. I sure do appreciate all the little things being done for me that I can’t do myself. Now to get Rick to put up a few more things for me!!
Speaking of radios and Calvary church drive up service, I’ve been trying to get the service on my radio for several weeks. Would you believe that I had 4 radios that can pick up FM stations and I couldn’t get any of them to pick up 107.5 until I got my 5th radio from the farm. Sure am glad Rick got it put up for me!
Upcoming Events:
Nov. 22...10:30 a.m. 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.
