Weathering life and small-town tales in Kenton notes
A Kenton column recounts local happenings from a colorful period, including visits by old friends Max and Ida Whyte and details of farm life, meals, and social outings. The writer threads in neighborhood gossip, community events, a duck-hunting anecdote about Alex Adams, and a humorous snake incident, all set in Manitoba’s rural towns.
