MAYFAIR — Great weather we’ve been experiencing and every nice day means one less day of winter. Enjoying being outdoors for a breath of fresh air is an exhilarating feeling.
Mont Nebo store has recently been purchased by nearby Athahkakoop First Nation. Mont Nebo is in the vicinity of Shell Lake. Small villages need a grocery store, especially for the older people who don’t get out much but do need supplies. Sherry and Glen Mezzo have owned it for several years and, due to retirement, were happy to have a buyer. An employee of Mezzo’s, Betty Hansen, will still be working in this store and always has a welcoming smile as one enters. Sherry and Glen are relatives of my former Whitkow farmer neighbour, Shirley Lamontagne, who resides in a retirement home in Saskatoon.
