This week, 27 years ago, marks the opening of the Goodwill Bakery in Stoughton. After moving from Foam Lake with her family, Faye Konjolka, decided to open a bakery.

Well it would appear that spring has finally sprung (knock on wood). The sun has a warmth to it I haven't felt since before the frigid arctic air came swooping in from the north, but alas it has finally come back.

On Saturday, March 15, Stoughton was a bustling area with a craft show being held at the Legion Hall.

If there is a Holy Grail for Canadian Prairie farmers it is probably the 100-bushel wheat crop.

From Thursday, March 13, to Sunday, March 16, Carlyle was host to a number of curling teams from across the province who were participating in the Ramada Hotels Juvenile Provincial Championship presented by the Optimists Clubs of Saskatchewan.
