Meadowgreen Fair enjoys Fabulous Weather

The Meadowgreen Fair was fantastic!  The event was blessed with fabulous weather and it was a perfect day for a barbeque. Over 700 people attended the fair and they enjoyed great entertainment including the W.P. Bate School Jiggers, Hula Hoopster, Beeper the Clown and the Saskatoon Juggling Club.
A big attraction was the Western Development's Caliope that provided music for the crowd to enjoy. The Caliope, a steam organ, is only one of two in Canada.  It originates from the late 1800's to the early 1930s when steam organs were common place.
There were a lot of informational displays that people could view as well including Aids Saskatoon, The Society for the Prevention of Handicaps, The Community Health Nurse, The Immigrant Women of Saskatoon, Saskatoon Crime Free Housing, and other vendors.
The Saskatoon Police Department were also in attendance and people could view their cruiser.
There were lots of children sporting face paint done by the talented SCYAP artists.  Beeper the Clown did an amazing job with balloon animals and many children enjoyed the Art Caravan provided by the Mendel Art Gallery.
The Meadowgreen Community Association would like to thank all the volunteers for their help!  Special acknowledgement goes to the Meadowgreen House of all Nations for their awesome work barbequing and the donation of meat and Saskatchewan Lotteries for the Community Grant which helps support the event!

Meadowgreen Clean-up!

Meadowgreen is green and clean! Let's all do our part!  The Meadowgreen community clean-up was to take place on April 21st as part of the Earth Day Celebrations but it seems that the weather has other ideas with still three feet of snow along the roads and puddles everywhere you look.

As the snow melts and your road dries out we hope you will join your neighbors and friends and clean-up your part of Meadowgreen.  See you all soon making Meadowgreen green and clean!

Rink and everything else that hasn't been said

What has been going on?  The rink is up and going after much concern and discussion on the part of the Board of Directors.  A big thank you goes out to Bryan Austin and the youth that are involved from Eagle Nest.  Thank you!!!

The rink shack is open Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. and on Sundays from 1 to 3 p.m.  This time is reserved primary for public skating - which means that skaters have first priority.  If there are no skaters - shinny can take place.

Public Skating is canceled if the weather is -31 or colder or if the temperature and wind chill make the temperature colder than - 31.
