With two weeks to go, the plans are set for the 2013 edition of the Saskatchewan Oil and Gas Show, to be held June 4-6 at the Weyburn exbibition grounds.
The show will start off on Tuesday, June 4, with an oil industry golf tournament, which will wrap up with a steak and lobster dinner in the evening at the Curling Rink.
The main day of the show is Wednesday, June 5, with the show opening at 10 a.m., and the annual Awards Luncheon will be held at noon with guest speaker Bill Boyd, minister of the Economy, along with the presentation of the 2013 Oil and Gas Recognition Awards, which includes the Saskatchewan Oilman of the Year and inductees to the Saskatchewan Oil Hall of Fame, all presented by the Board of Governors.
There will be a forum hosted by PSAC in the afternoon, and in the evening, Energy and Resources Minister Tim McMillan will be the guest speaker, along with Mayor Debra Button, and presentation of the Southeast Saskatchewan Oil Person of the Year Award.
There have been two recipients of this award in the last couple of shows, one from the Weyburn area and the other from Estevan, and show organizers also have been encouraging women to be nominated for this award.
On Thursday, June 6, PSAC will hold their annual barnstorming pancake breakfast in the morning, and an industry luncheon will be held at noon with radio host John Gormley as the keynote speaker.
Through both Wednesday and Thursday, the indoor and outdoor booths are open for visitors to the grounds; all visitors must register for the show online at www.oilshow.ca, due to security concerns.
When the gates open the morning of June 5, the grounds will be packed full of the latest, biggest and newest in oilfield technology and equipment.
