Regina Archaeological Society: The RAS would like to thank those attended the RAS family BBQ on Sunday May 29th. The afternoon started off cloudy but the sun came out for the walk to the Kinney Site in the beautiful Wakamow valley. The hamburgers and hot dogs were enjoyed by all who attended as was the Saskatoon pie and Saskatoon refreshments. It was wonderful to once again visit with fellow RAS members. The RAS will be taking a break in June. We wish to thank everyone who has supported us this past year by joining us for Zoom presentation and for taking time out of their Sunday schedule to join us on May 29 in Moose Jaw’s Connor Park in Wakamow.
