The Little Free Pantry at the Weyburn Public Library didn't get the influx expected during last week's Fall Book Sale event, the incentive for which was an entry into a WPL swag draw for anyone contributing a non-perishable food item.

Branch Manager Dawn Silver said the initiative, whether due to timing or excitement for the event, was a non-starter.

While the pantry isn't new, and until recently it had been seeing regular contributions for the past year.

We were talking about winter and looking forward to ice fishing and snowmobiling on the morning show today. The two activities go hand-in-hand for many and I witnessed that on one cold, winter's day many years ago.

We were out on the ice catching some fish in a cozy fishin' shack when some friends pulled up on their snowmobiles. One of the fellas was riding a brand new machine and told us how fast it could go.

One of my mates asked if he could take it for a rip. The owner obliged.

The holiday spirit is in full swing as local baker Jen Chapman leads a heartfelt fundraiser titled "Baking Spirits Bright" to benefit Ancla de Amor, an orphanage in Mexico. The initiative combines Chapman’s passion for baking with her deep connection to the ministry, which was founded by her brother, Brian.

“I’m just a home baker who loves to bake,” shared Chapman. “My brother and his family started Ancla de Amor, so it’s pretty near and dear to my heart. This bake sale felt like a way I could help.”
