Hallowe'en Fundraising Dances will be held in the R.M. of Lakeshore on Friday at the Ochre River Community Hall and on Saturday at the Lawrence Community Centre in Rorketon.

Rec Director Marie Sorlie says that a local DJ will be putting on a light show at both dances.

 "We're going to have a costume party. We're going to do [the] scariest costume and then [the] best-dressed costume... We have prizes thanks to Co-op... It's going be a really good time," she adds.

Sorlie went on to say that both of them will run from 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. and that there will also be food.

"Those regular 10:30, 11 o'clock snacks that [are] going to be a late lunch there as well," she adds.

According to Sorlie, this will be the first time that a Hallowe'en dance is being held in Ochre River.

"Rorketon has had one for a few years now. [The] last time [a dance was held] in Rorketon was.. 2019 and we almost had about 100 people attend that time, so it's time to do that kind of fun thing again. We've all been longing to get out and dance and have a party with friends and family. This is the opportunity," she adds.

Marlie Sorlie says that anyone interested in attending either dance must purchase a ticket in advance.

They can be purchased at one of the R.M. of Lakeshore's offices for $10.

Those unable to purchase tickets before 4:30 p.m. on Friday can reserve some for pick-up at the door by calling Marie at 204-648-4797.

The dance in Ochre River is open to people aged 18 years and older and the one in Rorketon is open to those 15 and up.
