Rebecca Kennel originally published the first Hi-lites you are now reading. Businesses buy advertising while organizations & individuals use this avenue at no charge to publicize their events. When Rebecca & Galen moved to Victoria,Carol Francoeur was asked to continue this popular publication. Business advertising assists with paper & copying costs but does not produce a reasonable return for the work involved in its production. If each person taking a copy dropped 25c—50c in the container, that would be a fair return.
The next Chamber of Commerce meeting is Thursday, September 28 at 7:30 p.m at Partners in Worship. All members please attend or send your rep. New members are always welcome—many voices bring more ideas to help keep our community alive & attractive to residents & newcomers.

We had 23 carvers participate this year. They came from Edmonton and Sherwood Park, AB, Winnipeg, MB and various points all over Saskatchewan.
We'd also like to thank all the visitors who took the time to come and browse through the Gazebo to see what we were doing.
Hopefully, we will be back for the 5th annual "Carve-In" in 2007, and would really like to see some of the local carvers join in.

Name: Coreen Spencer (Creary) Comments: We had the opportunity to take my mom up Memorial Hill this summer. What an incredible undertaking with a beautiful outcome. It is a wonderful tribute. It always amazes me, the vision and determination of people in a small town! I don't get back to Shell Lake very often. The town certainly has changed, but I still have a lot of memories of the fun things we did when we were young(er).
