Congratulations to Benjamin and Dorothy Hofer, the parents of the 2018 New Year’s baby.
Nathaniel Jacob Hofer came in a hurry and arrived at the Drumheller Health Centre at 9:17 p.m. January 1. He weighed in at seven pounds, 6.4 ounces, and was delivered by Dr. Maseka.
He arrived within a day of his due date and is the younger brother of Jethro and Tabea, who are excited to have a baby brother. He is also the first New Year’s Baby from the Hillview Colony near Rosebud.
