Lions, 4H team up for Hamiota Fish Fry

Hungry guests lined up for a tasty fish fry at Hamiota Hall where the best side dish was visiting with friends, family and neighbours. A fish fry is something different in the heart of prairie farm life where pork, beef and chicken are staples.

On Sunday evening, Oct. 18 the Hamiota Lions Club chocked up another successful meal, although Lion Ryan Hamilton said numbers were down this fall. He said it wasn’t unexpected with a difficult harvest season. Yet, they served about 250 people.

Tasty grilled or deep-fried Basa was supplied through The Meat Man at Oakburn, a Lion himself. Baked potatoes, beans and coleslaw was accompanied by carrot cake.

Lion Matt Rogaski organized the meal. Hamiota Ag Society supported this in partnership with the energetic Decker Country Riders 4H Club – providing an important experience for the 4Hers, says a club leader.

Bussing Tables: Ashley Argue, Grace Horvath, Whitney Ostash, Stella Reid, Katie Soutar and for preparation - Chelsey Ostash, Lauren Soutar. Parents and leaders who helped out: Kris & Amy Ostash, Jessica Reid, Kristi Argue and Kat Cornwall.
