Estevan Mercury

One of the many attractions at the Estevan Fair galloped into the rodeo grounds, on June 20, 21 and 22.

Everyone knows that the Saskatchewan Summer Games will bring many of Saskatchewan’s top young athletes to the Estevan area from July 24 to 30. But it will also be a showcase for all that Estevan has to offer, including cultural opportunities.

The Support Local Win Local campaign that appeared in Estevan Mercury Publications over the last 13 weeks was well received by the participating businesses, local readers and the newspapers.

RE/Max Blue Chip Realty’s Estevan office presented a cheque for $1,100 to the local Saskatchewan Summer Games committee earlier this month. The money was raised during a barbecue on June 15 at the Southern Plains Co-op.

Members of a local martial arts club gathered together to celebrate a prestigious milestone late last month.

Penta Completions Estevan Minor Football (EMF) will wrap up its learn-to-play flag football season this Sunday with a special kids versus parents game at Chow Field, but many more events will keep the pigskin top of mind over the summer months.

The Southeast Performance Pump midget AAA Twins' record at the 26th annual TruWealth Financial Williston Invitational baseball tournament in North Dakota last weekend may not represent the strong play the club exhibited on the field.

Prior to the start of the Crescent Point Energy Western Canada Cup (WCC) in Estevan, people were wondering if it was possible for the host team to make money. The three teams that hosted it previously all lost money.

I have seen some people say some despicable things when a politician comes on the air. These despicable things can be expletive ridden; they can be politically motivated and they can often be full of cynicism and anger.

Cheers: Cheers to the Lampman Volunteer Fire Department and the members of the Estevan Fire and Rescue Service who responded to a house fire in Lampman. Cheers to whoever spoke out about businesses hiring out-of-province employees.
