Anglers from across the region will be making their way to Mainprize Regional Park this weekend for one of the Weyburn Wildlife Federation’s most anticipated events of the year — the 2025 Walleye Classic.

The annual fishing tournament is set for Saturday, June 7, with lines in the water from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Teams of two or three can register for the competition, with a registration fee of $200 per team. However, for teams choosing to include a third member, that angler must be 15 years of age or younger.

Nominations are now open for the Estevan Business Excellence Awards (EBEX), and the Estevan Chamber of Commerce's popular summer golf tournament is back in July. Executive Director Merissa Scarlett joined the SUN 102 morning show to share how these events boost local business pride — and why your input matters.

After much work, a flurry of renovations and critical preparations, the Humboldt and District SPCA staff and board say they are ready for the big move to their new location. The SPCA acquired property and buildings just south of its current location. 

The moving dates are Friday June 20 and Saturday June 21, and the call is out for volunteers and casual helpers to ship everything, including the animals over.

It's time for Facebook Friday! I find the best of the best.

Posts like this one, "I woke up from a deep sleep in a panic, thinking I was late for work. Thankfully I was at work."

I like this, "The misuse of the word literally makes me figuratively insane."

Here's a female friend who shares, "Not sure if retailers know this, but there is a whole demographic of women who still want the bottom half of the shirt."

Country star Jess Moskaluke is ready to bring the heat to southern Manitoba this weekend, and fans should expect more than just great music—they’re in for a high-energy experience packed with heart, humour, and maybe a few surprises. 

Moskaluke joined the Country 107 Morning Show served up by A&W Steinbach ahead of her Saturday night performance at the Niverville Fair. She hits the main stage at 9:30 p.m., and if you think touring is all glitz and glam, she is here to set the record straight.
