'The Oasis' at the PC Fair to benefit HLRC

Dear Editor and Philips County Fair- goers and residents,

We plan to support the 100 year Fair by honoring some of the eldest members of our community with a special spot for them to see all of their friends and relatives to reminisce about past good times and make present memories. The spot is called “The Oasis” and will be ideally located at the fairgrounds, across from the restrooms, the historical building, and upwind from the barns. It will sport a few luxuries that are not always readily available at the fair such as comfortable chairs, shade, complimentary ice water, fans, clean play pen, mosquito spray, and electrical hook-ups to recharge phones. The organizers of this event are well- seasoned and will have lap robes and heaters available also. We know Montana weather!

The rental of the site will be $25 for an hour and the proceeds will be donated to the on-going Hi-Line Retirement fundraiser. The 90 to 100 year olds have first dibs on the time slots, so please call Janice Reichelt at Home Health 406-654-1100 Ext.5161 and leave a name and phone number. The family members of two of the 89 yr. olds have already called, but they don’t get to register until next week. Oh, the disadvantages of not being the eldest. Complimentary parking spots will be available right by the door, and so will the ideal family picture taking wall for the 100 year fair memory shot.

Some plan to order in pie from the 4-H booth, others will serve birthday cake for a member, and others will bring their own cooler with their favorite “recipe”. There will be a marquee advertising the times of the “open” gatherings and less advertising for the ones who just want a spot to take a nap between the sale and the rodeo.

We’ll have fun! Call for a slot!

Janice Reichelt
