The hunting is good (duck and geese), I imagine there is some fishing in the lakes around that area. Amateur softball in the summer, curling in the winter, snowmobiling or atviing depending on your cold/dust tolerance. Shopping is probably just the local co-op and a few hardware stores,drug store,etc Most small towns have lost what business they had to the big box stores in the city, mostly because very few kids have stayed in the community to set down roots of their own.

What services they have, the only ones that are not single listings are that they have two beauty salons and two restaurants. One credit union, one grocery store, one medical clinic, one general store, etc. Wow, depressing. Reminds me of Sparwood....

It was never exactly a convenient trip....packed in all our food for the day trips, no bathroom (just the outhouse, LOTS of spiders since it was used so little) and you worked up a good sweat only to have no way to even rinse off before the drive home. Boy, those moist towelettes we take for granted now sure would have been a treat back then!!!!
