Visitors to the 3rd annual Cruise for the Cure, two Sundays ago, at Tim and Brenda Schmidt's amazing farm on the Weston Road north of Laskay, got a bit of a surprise when they drove onto the grounds. Recent additions to the impressive entrance included a rusted auto from the 1930s on the north side and an equally rusted old grain binder from the last century, on the south side. They were both eye-catching, to say the least. The ordinary person hearing about such a combination could be forgiven for being very sceptical about this strange presentation, but oddly enough it worked. There was a neat symmetry to the design. The rust colour of the old metal blended with the orange ground-cover and there was a nostalgic feel to the combined new-old scene. The event raised a whopping $95,000 for Prostrate Cancer Canada and Shriners Children's Hospital, bringing the total raised in just its first three years to $215,000. Well done all around, Tim and Brenda.
