Art and Colene Sager, along with guest Weston Kane, flew to Yakima Friday and joined a group of Washington Flying Farmers touring the CubCrafters factory. This company was founded in 1980 and has grown to 350 employees who turn out finished airplanes that are patterned after the Cubs of many years ago, although much improved. They are so popular that any orders today would not be ready until 2020.

Visitors at the home of David Stueckle this weekend were his son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter, Doug, Cheryl and Ashleigh Stueckle of Coeur d’Alene.

Five men from Seattle, Kirkland and Lewiston who are members of the Rroros Rifle Team, stayed at The Parsonage Bed and Breakfast May 19 and 20. They competed in the NWPRL-sponsored precision long rifle competition at the Blue Ridge Ranch near Benge, owned by Greg and Lisa Beckley. This was the final competition of the season with about 70 competitors. Of the five, one finished in fifth place and another in 13th.

Karen Broeckel spent part of the weekend in Spokane. Friday evening, she babysat the children of Andrew and Emily Nolan. Saturday, she attended a birthday party for her seven-year-old great nephew, Ezra Halbig, son of Bobby and Jamie Wieber Halbig.
