Fraser celebrates Mother's Day
By Norma Brand
The weather in Fraser on
Mother’s Day weekend was typical of our spring weather, beautiful cloud
formations displayed against clear blue skies, then rain showers falling from
those clouds. Of course the wind had to blow at various rates of speed and at
times the sun did come out. Our temperature warmed up to 51 degrees on Saturday
and 59 on Sunday.
The Fraser Community Center
Board held their annual prime rib dinner on Saturday, May 7. Linda Beard
reported approximately 175 people enjoyed the dinner this year, which is an
increase over last year. The colorful tablecloths and flowers added a special
touch to the event, and the food was delicious. The dessert table had a variety
of pies, cookies and fruit desserts to choose from thanks to the
Ladies-Get-Together Club. Mike Beard had the prime rib done to perfection and a
choice of roast chicken was also available.
Donna Brown’s granddaughter,
Izzy, helped serve vegetables and Marie Armitage’s grandchildren, Macoy and
Breyer Boyer helped her clean up tables. It was a great community event. The
next time you see them let them know how much you enjoyed it. See you next year.

called Jilinda’s.
Mike and Linda Beard attended
a potluck dinner at Johnny and Elizabeth Stewart’s home on Mother’s Day. The
Stewart’s delayed the “traditional May Pole ceremony” because of the rainy
weather; they decided to put it up on Sunday so their guest could enjoy watching
it go up.

Dianna Funck and their husbands, Larry and Bill and Don and Teresa Funck for

contest in Orofino. They are in the Cloverbuds division of the 4-H program and
received high scores for their efforts. Breyer took 2nd place and Macoy came in
3rd. Keep up the good work Macoy and Breyer.
