My apologies for a mistake in a wedding announcement in last week’s column. The announcement should have read:
Congratulations to Cassidy Teeple and Evan Govier. The couple wed Saturday September 14. Many said the wedding was, “Beautiful and the best day ever.” Proud parents are Leonard Teeple and Candy Greengrass and Corrie and Emma Govier and grandparents Allan and Shirley Teeple, Morris and Cindy Judson, June Durnin, Don Bragg and the late Joe Bragg. The district sends the couple wishes for many years of happy marriage.
Congratulations to Vince and Vance Allan on their winning of the Rainy River Walleye Tournament. The Allan’s two day fish total was 19.93 pounds.
Sincere sympathy to the families and friends of Carolyn Jewett (Stang). Carolyn’s unexpected passing has touched the lives of many. The district is sending caring thoughts and prayers at this sad time, to all those mourning.
