The Paradise Center was the place to be Saturday for the celebration of Betty Meyer’s 100th birthday.
Over 50 people were on hand to share this special day with Meyer. Two of Meyer’s children were there to celebrate her birthday along with six grandchildren, five great-grandchildren and one very active 3-year-old great-great-grandson named Loren Gorham. Several family members and friends traveled from as far away as British Columbia, Canada and Louisiana.
A special guest, Sen. Jon Tester appeared on a recorded video wishing Meyer a happy birthday. Several firefighters from the Plains-Paradise Rural Fire District, including volunteer Joel Banham along with two fire trucks, came to celebrate Meyer’s birthday. A comment was made that they were thankful that the fire department was on scene. You never know what could happen with so many candles on fire on one cake.
