A small cash entrance fee is available for anyone not providing a donation and wishes to shop. All funds raised will go towards the PCA and its various events/programs.

• Who doesn’t love an adult night out with live music?! Pocket Dial will be rocking the hall on April 22nd with their covers of 80s & 90s alternative music. Doors open at 7:30pm. All funds raised will go directly to the tennis/pickleball court resurfacing project. For tickets, visit pca.getcommunal.com to pay via credit card or stop by the Priddis General Store to purchase via cash.Tickets will be available at the door if the event does not sell out beforehand. Anyone signed up to volunteer will receive free admission.

Priddis Garage Sale is back again this year on May 13th from 9am-12pm. Donations will be accepted at the hall on May 12th from 9am onward. Our amazing event coordinator, Arlene Jelfs, cannot run this on her own and needs volunteers to ensure this is a success. Please email priddispresident@gmail.com to be connected with Arlene.

March Update

Greetings from the Priddis Community Association. Here is what is happening in the coming weeks:

• Pickleball continues in the hall each Thursday. 1-3pm, 3-5pm, 5-7pm are the available times and can accommodate 4-5 people per time slot. Drop-in fees ($5 for members, $10 for non-members) are payable in cash to the donation box at the hall. The board is looking at utilizing an app called TeamSnap to try to coordinate drop-ins. If you would like to be added to this email list, please contact pcahallrentals@gmail.com.

• March 18th is Family Movie Night at the hall. Doors open at 5:30 with curtain at 6:00pm. Admission is free courtesy of Meota Gas Co-op and their generous donation to our community. If you wish, bring something comfortable to sit on as we watch ‘Homeward Bound’. Snacks and refreshments will be available for purchase so please bring cash.

• Kids’ Clothing & Toy Swap is back on April 15th, 11a-3p at the hall. Please contact Leah (spruceandpinehome@gmail.com) if you would like to donate items to the swap. If you do not donate, you can still shop for a small cash fee.

• The PCA is incredibly excited to bring Pocket Dial to the hall for an evening of live music and dancing. Doors open at 7:30pm with refreshments available for purchase by cash. All proceeds go towards the refurbishment of the community tennis/pickleball courts. Tickets can be purchased, beginning March 17th, either online using a credit card: pca.getcommunal.com/parent_programs, or in cash at the Priddis General Store. This event will sell out so purchase your tickets early to avoid disappointment.

The PCA would like to extend a big thank you to all of the volunteers that made the hockey season a success. Did you know that there are hundreds of volunteer hours that go into planning and execution of the season, as well as maintaining the ice? Not one person holds a paid position within Panther’s. Congratulations, everyone, on another successful season!

February Update

Thank you to all that came out to Winterfest 2023! It was a big success with over 200 people interacting with their community. Thank you to Karla Ramsay for planning, Priddis Fire for bringing the trucks, Millarville Mutts & Mustangs for running the snack tables, the View & Brew for allowing patrons to access the county reserve parking area via their land, and to everyone else who chipped in along the way.

Here is what is coming up in Priddis:

• Drop-in pickleball starts February 23rd. We are running 3 time sessions of 1-3pm, 3-5pm, and 5-7pm. Ideally there would be 4-5 people for each session. $5 drop-in fee payable in cash to the donation box in the hall. We are still hoping for someone to volunteer to coordinate so that the courts are being utilized in the most efficient manner.

• Feeling jazzy? Try Jazzercise! M/W/F from 9:30-10:30. Fees are payable in cash at the door. Contact Judy (jazzed@telus.net) for more information.
