From the valley floor of "Macgregor Lake", to the height of the "Rocky Buttes", And further on to "Look-See Hill", where the Antelope have their roots. Just below these Rocky Buttes, where a Meadowlark still sings, There's a little grove on the side of a hill, that has always been "Black Springs". "McCords' Backwater" was a favourite spot, where Duck hunters went to shoot, And Bob Knights final resting place, on "Coffin Handle Butte". The "Jardine Holes" beside the lake, where people wTent to fish and swim, 1 Have disappeared since they raised the water, they're completely silted in. "Corbie Hill" overlooked the village, where its school stood all alone, Where or how it got its name, may forever remain unknown. We discovered the name "Pleasant Ridge", while researching history information, And from the names in the gossip column, we determined its location. For as long as I can remember, people have gone to "Pooles" with their fishing poles, And fished along the rivers edge, clear up to the "Goldeye Holes". "Lakeview Store" by "Rattlesnake Lake", was Milo's first location, When the C.P.R. put down the steel, it moved, to be near the railway station. "Slick-Up Lake", so widely known, where sweaty cowboys all stopped by, Some years its very full of water, some years its mighty dry. Legend has it that the cowboys stopped to wash and comb their curls. Then rode off to the nearest dance, to impress the local girls. The "Hardwick Flats" and the "Hardwick Lease" are many miles apart, One was named as an honor, the other dear to a heart. "Jackson's Coulee" is a favourite spot to fish the lazy Pike, And if it happens that the fishings poor, you can birdwatch, if you like. "St.Peters Pier" was another spot that disappeared as the shoreline grew, They said that it was mainly for the elite, the rest could only view. "Indian Lake" caught the water if "Snake Lake" should overflow, And when it could hold no more, it emptied in the Bow. The "Majorville Cairn" or the "Medicine Wheel", is a significant pile of stone, Its origin or its purpose is not yet completely known. "Hillmark", a_triangulation point, sits on one of the higher elevations, And from its vantage you can see many prominent locations. This is all that I can name, I've no doubt missed a few, For that I do apologize, but its the best that I can do. So if you have a favourite spot, that you think is really neat. Just add it to the bottom, and make the list complete. I The "Water Tower" and the "Stockyards" stood at Pageant through cold and heat. But as times and transportation changed, both became obsolete. The former supplied the water for steam to power the trains, The latter was a shipping point for cattle from the grassy plains. Another thing that we'll not see again, that sat by the railway track, The "Coal Chute", stood like a sentinel, tall and dirty and black. The "Sunshine Bus Lines" round-tripped Calgary six days out of seven, And depending on the road conditions, returned on time between eight and eleven.

The Arena is getting more and more expensive to run every year and if we had not had the Lethbridge Casino, we would have had quite a substantial loss. However, we are in desperate need of people go on the Ice Committee. Colleen Deitz has been on the committee for 8 years and Tom and Betty Nelson have been on for the past 4 years. If we don’t get replacement volunteers to sit on the Committee, the Ag. Society has been seriously considering closing the facility permanently. This would mean no school use, po skating, and the facility would not be available during the ball seasons.
