Buffalo Coulee Community Centre was abuzz with excitement on February 1 as the Buffalo Coulee Community Club proudly hosted its 50th Perogy Supper, a sold-out affair.
The much-anticipated annual event treated guests to a sumptuous feast, featuring an array of traditional delights. From savoury perogies to creamy mashed potatoes, two tantalizing salads, hearty cabbage rolls, corn, and succulent roast beef, the spread catered to everyone’s preference. Those with a liking for sweets were not left disappointed, as a bountiful selection of squares, lovingly crafted by community members, awaited dessert enthusiasts. To quench thirst, a variety of beverages including coffee, juice, water, and sodas were readily available.
As the evening unfolded, attendees were treated to more than just gastronomic delights. The evening kicked off with a lively dance at 7:30 p.m., featuring the energetic beats of the well-known duo The Prairie Dogz. The music selection, carefully chosen to entertain both young and old, ensured that attendees had the opportunity to enjoy themselves with tunes tailored for the little ones from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., followed by a transition to more mature melodies.
Denise Rogan, Secretary-Treasurer of the Buffalo Coulee Community Club, expressed delight at witnessing the joyous time, particularly highlighting the inclusive nature of the event, which welcomed entire families. “It was great seeing the children having such a great time in the gym and being able to run around and enjoy themselves at an event which welcomed whole families as that is hard to find at a lot of events,” remarked Rogan.
The evening also featured spirited auctions, with a live auction commencing at 9 p.m., offering coveted items up for bidding. Additionally, a silent auction, boasting an impressive array of items, kept the excitement alive until its conclusion at 9:30 p.m. For those seeking a little liquid refreshment, a cash bar was available, complemented by five raffle items specially curated for children.
Beyond the meal, dancing, and fellowship, the event also served a noble cause, with proceeds earmarked for the continued enhancement of the Buffalo Community Centre. Funds raised this year are hoped to contribute towards renovations, further enhancing its amenities for the benefit of the community. “The centre has undergone a wide variety of renovations over the past few years and is now a wonderful place to rent for your special events, especially weddings and family reunions, etc.,” commented Rogan.
