Bingo!
Written by: Faye
Bingo is a big deal in town, and happens about once or twice a week. Usually it’s “radio bingo”, where people buy their bingo sheets in advance and then the numbers are announced over the radio as they are drawn, so you can bingo from the comfort of your own home. Last week, however, there was live merchandise bingo, meaning that the numbers were being called live at the arena, and players could win prizes instead of money. You don’t get to pick your prizes though – you get whatever you happen to win. Don’t want a tea pot? Well that’s too bad, you’ve got one now.
We took the visiting parents to bingo so that they could try it out – they are retired, after all. The friendly ladies sitting next to us loaned them a bingo dabber and coached them through the process.

River Breakup 2018
Written by: Faye
The Mackenzie River started to break up on May 10th this year. This year was not as dramatic as last year’s breakup, which means that there was less flooding in town and less debris left on shore. At this point, only a week after breakup, the river is already open and accessible for boats to launch. Here’s a video from May 11th of all the ice chunks floating out towards the Arctic Ocean.
This year, we had visitors in town for the breakup.
