Photo of the monthEleven year old Azira Johnson from Maskwacis made it to provincials with her bowling team for the sec-ond year in a row! Azira has been in a bowling league in Ponoka at Leisure Lanes for three years. She repre-sented girls bantams for 2013/14 season. Azira loves to be involved in many activities and her number one fan is her sister, Zhane! It was extremely intense at the provincials, which were held in Sher-wood Park this year. Her team came in fourth out of six teams that were competing for Nationals. Proud mother, Candice Johnson, wants to thank Par-can Developments for the sponsorship and also all the family who sponsored and believed in Azira and supports her all the way.

Congratulations Azira!
