Can you believe that we are turning 50 this year as an Ag Society!! Time flys when you are having fun! We will be doing a steak supper to celebrate and a bunch of other fun things so keep your calendar free on November 12 2022!

A HUGE thank you to Clint and his gang who helped take our ice out this year! Honestly, I don’t know what we would do without you!

We had a last our last steak night of the season and the ice plant is turned off, which means our winter season is over, and it was fantasic! We are so thankful for our community’s support through another tough covid year.

We had great success with our ice usage with Holden Minor hockey, Pond hockey, Mustangs, Iceholes and Sloughsharks plus Shinny and Public Skate.

In May, we will have Feed the Fields again, which means burgers will be available for eat in or take out. In June there will be Farmers Day and the Junior Cattle show. So keep your datebooks open for us.

Need something to breakdown your icy sidewalk and driveway?? We have replenished our supply of Bear Tracks. We are still selling them for $20 a pail, which is a steal of a deal!! Plus you don’t have to travel far to get it. Text Carrie at 780-235-1329 or head down to the complex in the evening when there is hockey and Wayne or Phil will help you out. No cash is kept on site, so bring exact change or etransfer to holdenagsociety@live.ca

To book your steak ahead, please text Carrie 780-235-1329 or call after 4 or email at holdenagsociety@live.ca. Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday!

We are excited to host our next steak supper on December 11! Our November supper was such a success and we are so thankful. We had great help from our new members and from Viking grad class. There were lots of people in the kitchen!

For the December steak supper, we again will be following provinical protocol and will be asking for proof of vaccination or negative test for dining in. If you want to do take out, we can do that too.

We will be taking preorders again also. We find that the food comes out way faster. You can call or text your order to Carrie 780-235-1329, but please call after 4 on weekdays.

Some other highlights of our group: we had our AGM last month and are excited to say we have 4 new members!! We are jumping for joy! It is always great to share fun fun of this Ag society with others. It is a great group to be in. Our ice in and being maintained by Wayne and Phil.

We are offering FREE public skating every Sunday 1-4. Please join us and wear your helmet.

Yes we are finally having a steak supper!! We are pretty excited to get back at it. If you want to dine in, you must show proof of double vaccination OR negative test. Otherwise you can do pick up as well.

We will have two sittings again 4:30-6:00 and 6:30-8:00 and preordering works the best. Food comes out a lot faster and we plate everything for you. Text Carrie your order at 780-235-1329 or email holdenagsociety@live.ca. We will also accept etransfer at holdenagsociety@live.ca

We are also looking for kitchen help for this event. You do not have to be vaccinated, but you will have to be masked. Text or call Carrie if you can help us out. 780-235-1329

Our new season is starting for Holden Ag Society and we are looking for more volunteers for our Board. Help us keep making a difference in Holden and surrounding area! Our goal is to offer our population a place to meet, to have fun and to make this area a better place to live. But our little group needs to grow! We don’t ask much, honestly. We meet once a month during the year, except summer. We do steak dinners and the occasional burger day. You don’t have to be a farmer and you don’t have to be a townie, we will take both. We would love your support. Please attend our AGM on November 17th at 6:30, followed by regular meeting at 7:00. We will be meeting in person as well as offering zoom option.

We are so thrilled and thankful to have the ice in! We would never be able to do this if it wasn’t for our teams that support us. So thank you to Holden Minor Hockey, Pond Hockey and the Iceholes for coming on a drizzly Saturday morning to help Henry put in our ice.

The chill is in the air (finally) and we have started our chiller up! We are planning to put ice in this weekend!! Super excited!! As far as Covid goes, we decided to not participate in the REP for hockey and club meetings. Which means that everyone has to wear a mask, hand sanitize and social distance. It also means there will be no concession during hockey games. At least for now anyways.
