The unique ways a community earns income?!?!?!?
Can you believe that the Rolette community put forth a spring consignment auction? It was a unique way to get rid of what you don’t need and to earn some extra cash. Some of the best deals could be found.. if you had the stamina to wait for the auctioneer to get to the items you were looking for. (I know my brother in law came away with great treasures that he decided needed to be shared with my children). The auction started around 9 am with the berm of main street full of treasures and the auction completed around 10 p.m. What a long day! The day was full of visiting, collecting items and friends, and bidding on prized items! Several community groups were on hand to assist with your comfort needs. The All for Christ Group served cotton candy, mini doughnuts, and cold pop. The Rolette Fire Department served brats, dogs and bbqs out of the fire hall. They shared the garage with the Ladies of WELCA who served pies and coffee. I heard tell the wonders of a cherry pie that was to die for…. hmmm? I wonder if that could be a new business in town.. Rolette the Cherry Pie capital?

A “Pie Shop” in Rollette sounds like a winner - don’t get there often from Anamoose, but if I get close I’d sure stop!! Go for it Grace! You are doing a great job - keep it up! Mardi from Anamoose

Let’s try this again - my first comment did not go through - never give up is the leadership motto of Horizions! I’m all for the “Pie Shop” in Rolette and will stop in when I visit my daughter in the area. Keep up the good work! The community auction sale sounds like a great idea and maybe something we could also do! Mardi from Anamoose
