Q: What do grandparents and mashed potatoes have in common?
A: First you Kookum, then you Mushem.
Thanks to Frank A. Ward of The Leader’s paper stuffing department for that one. We liked it so much we gave Frank tickets to the Mini-Hoops basketball show at Northern Lakes College.
And then Caitlyn Auger-Richer chimed in with this one:
“Knock, knock!”
“Who’s there?”
“Wet.”
“Wet who?”
“Wet me in! It’s waining!”
Look for Caitlyn at the Mini-Hoops game too.

Jody McAdam will be there too, for faxing us this cute one:
After the church service a little boy told the pastor: “When I grow up, I’m going to give you some money.”
“Well thank you,” the paster replied. “But why?”
“Because my daddy says you’re one of the poorest preachers we’ve ever had.”
That’s not about any local pastors, we’re almost sure.

Allarie Cleaners and the Slave Lake Elks are doing their Coats For Kids program again. Between now and Oct. 10 if you drop off your surplus, GENTLY WORN coats, scarves and toques at Allarie’s, they’ll clean them for free and then the Elks will make them available for anybody who needs them at the Elks’ Hall on Oct. 10 and 11.
Last year over 400 coats were donated, and the goal is to do even better this year. Come on Slave Lake! Let’s do our part!
