Ministikwan Lake lore and more
They moved into what I call a Lucille Ball, Desi Arnaz type trailer, the ones with the rounded back. While her father built the first house, he also built some of the first wooden boats Ministikwan Lake had seen. This was the start of a business we still operate today, where many people have come and gone from leaving impressions we have rekindled over the years and now some of those events, stories and lore I will share with my writings called “Ministikwan Lake Lore and Perhaps More.” Some voted for “Triple P, Papa Paul’s Program,” and the latter won out. The idea is to bring you a story each week retelling events that have happened over the years, trying not to bore you. For those who are unaware, Ministikwan Lake has been a destination point for many people from Lloydminster and the surrounding area. For the longest time there wasn’t much of a road, even that may be an exaggeration, a goat trail would be more like it and today there are times when it’s not much better. Like years ago if it happened to rain, you were pulled in by the tractor. Fishing, camping and lake side recreation attracted people to the lake, some of the original customers and their families still frequent the lake. Today there is a new generation of campers with new stories that in time may turn into “Ministikwan Lore.” My hope is that you will enjoy what is to come. |
