The Muenster Elks celebrated their 50th Anniversary as a chapter with an informal supper and program for members and significant others. The membership gathered on Saturday, October 26 at the Muenster Curling Club, their traditional headquarters of operation.  

After a gathering hour and a lovely meal, members and guests reminisced about major events, club-based hi-jinks, and the thousands of hours of service leading to thousands of dollars generated by the organization for local charities.  

I managed to get out for a country cruise Sunday and was fortunate to find a few moose. This young fella found some green grass and was very reluctant to give it up. He decided having his photo taken and still be able to enjoy the grass was a good deal. The entire shoot lasted about 15 minutes before he got a little too far away, while still munching on the green grass.

More photos can be viewed on McGillivray Moments Photos For You Facebook page or at my Gallery in the Estevan Market Mall.

It was a day full of pumpkin guts, paint and glitter at the L&C Trucking Pumpkin Decorating Contest this past Saturday! After all was said and done, we chose 10 of the best gourds created. You can cast your vote for the best pumpkin in town HERE!

It's election day in Saskatchewan - your last chance to cast your ballot. You have until 8 o'clock tonight.

Elections Saskatchewan will conduct their "first preliminary count" tonight with a second preliminary count happening on Wednesday with the final count and final results 12 days from now on November 9th.

The most recent poll results indicate it could be close.

You don’t have to waste valuable space in your green bin for your Jack-o'-lanterns when you can donate them instead.

The Cochrane Ecological Institute (CEI) cares for animals that enjoy chewing, pecking, and munching on pumpkins and is now accepting donations.

"It's that time of year! The CEI is happy to take your carved pumpkins to give to our wildlife patients to eat this spooky season!" CEI posted on their Facebook page.

CEI is asking that all pumpkin donations be unbleached, wax and paint-free.
