The entire world is watching the Paris Olympics right now and there is no doubt the city of Humboldt and surrounding area will be tuning this week one local athlete in particular. 

Paige Crozon is one member of the Canadian 3x3 Women's Olympic Basketball team which begins competition on Tuesday.

Canada starts the tournament against Australia at 10:00 am local time.

That's followed by a matchup against China on Wednesday at 10:00 am.

It was a perfect Sunday to go for a drive to Bruno to check a wide assortment of cars at the 18th annual Show and Shine. 

With plenty of sunshine, a little cloud cover and a nice breeze the event was once again a big hit. 

Cars began lining up on the Bruno Sports Grounds throughout the morning, giving car enthusiasts plenty to look at throughout the day.  

Summer construction is well underway in Humboldt with a couple of road closures beginning today.

A section of 12th avenue between Stebbings Cres and the lane west of 21st Street is now closed off. 

Work is expected to last between 2-3 weeks. 

Also, the area of 2nd Ave between Main Street and 7th Street near St. Dominic School will be closed off to vehicle traffic for today and tomorrow. 

The City of Humboldt apologizes for any inconvenience.

The AAA 18 U Red Sox came up just short of their bid for a repeat championship at this weekend's provincial tournament in Regina. 

The weekend started strong for the Red Sox who posted an early 4-3 win on Friday in their opener against the White Buttle Broncos.

They followed up in a decisive win over the Regina Athletics, with Jarret Rude driving in four runs on a pair of hits on their way to a 17-4 victory.

The going got tougher later on Saturday as the Red Sox fell to the Saskatoon Cubs 17-1. The Cubs stunned the Red Sox with a runaway 13-run first inning.

While the wind picked up on Saturday afternoon, no one at the 33rd annual Watrous Fun Run Show and Shine minded the reprieve from last week’s heat. Cars, trucks, motorcycles and even more innovative vehicles lined the newly refurbished Main Street for the show.

In their second game on Saturday, the Red Sox were shutout by the Saskatoon Blue Jays 7-0.  

Some team ups were just meant to be, and such was the case on Friday night in Watson as legendary Canadian songster Tim Hus teamed up with leadoff man Jolie Blue in an unforgettable evening of purely Canada stories and songs.
