A Gofundme campaign has been set up for a family starting from scratch after a fire destroyed their home last week.
     On  Monday, May 13 the home of Dean and Kayla Brett and their two children Livi, and Ethan, burned. The roof collapsed and fire also damaged a neighbouring house on 1st Street South East.
 Dean says right now they don’t know if the home is salvageable. They lost many irreplaceable family items.
        “We lost pretty well everything due to the water. Many things that were meaningful were in the basement. This was memorabilia from my father who passed away,” he said. “I put them in our crawl space thinking they would be safe.”
    He is grateful to the firefighters who helped salvage some keepsakes.
    ‘The firefighters were really good, they managed while the house was on fire to get in and to grab photographs and photo albums and stuff that was meaningful to us,” he said.
    On top of that Dean recently started a home renovation business he operated out of his garage. Because of the fire, he is not able to access his equipment to get back to work.
    “We are starting from scratch,” he said. “I’m in a state of shock, you don’t expect these things to happen, and you are not prepared for it.”
        The fire is still under investigation.
    A friend of the family has set up a Gofundme campaign to help the family through this difficult time. Dean says the family is grateful for the support from the community.
    “The community has come

together,” he said. “It is very much appreciated.”
    Not long after the fire Drumheller residents have been offering support to the family to get them back on their feet. They have received

clothing and toy donations and food.
    He says if there are people hesitant about donating to Gofundme, they can contact Dean or Jay Moody via Facebook.

    There is nothing better to sink your teeth into than a juicy steak raised by a dedicated 4-H Beef club member.
    This Sunday you will have a chance to bid on the best at the annual Hussar 4-H Beef Club Show and sale.
    This year 42 dedicated club members have raised some incredible steers and they will be on the auction block this Sunday, May 26 at the Hussar Arena.
    The show celebrates the year for club members and is a chance to show the fruits of their labour. The show starts at 10 a.m. This is when expert judges will be inspecting and adjudicating the steers and awarding prizes.
    This year there will also be a People’s Choice award. This allows spectators to use their best judging skills and select what they feel is the best in show. This will be drawn following the grand champion class.    
    Following the show, the auction begins at about 3 p.m. On offer there will be 42 steers, plus a fundraising steer, a black Angus raised by Dexter, Jayna, and Brody Hale. At last year’s sale, the proceeds of the fundraiser steer went to the Emma Armstrong Memorial Fund.  The recipient this year will be announced at the Show and Sale.
         Following the show and sale, there will be a  Roast Beef Buffet Dinner at the Arena.
