Between open mics, movie nights, and live music, there’s no shortage of summer fun happening at Woodlawn Regional Park — and this week, local performer Conner Piche is taking the spotlight.

Conner joined the SUN 102 Morning Show to perform a song and talk about his upcoming show on Thursday.

The Estevan Public Youth Centre (EPYC) is turning Mondays into a highlight of the summer for local youth. After a wildly successful spaghetti-eating contest, the centre is back with another free event — the “Eggs-travaganza” relay night on July 21. The fun is part of EPYC’s ongoing effort to create safe, inclusive spaces for connection and creativity.

It was a packed and cozy evening at Woodlawn Regional Park as the latest Michael’s Coffee Shop & Bakery Open Mic brought music and community spirit to the park’s Binzebo. What started as a scramble to avoid rain turned into a memorable night under glowing string lights, with music echoing from the stage and lawn chairs filling the space.

“It was a total blast tonight.”
– Maureen Daoust, Woodlawn Regional Park Manager

The smell of pancakes and the sound of kids splashing in the paddling pool set the tone for a lively morning in Estevan. As residents gathered at Churchill Park for a free breakfast and a look at the park’s new features, City Manager Jeff Ward joined SUN 102’s Dan to talk about what’s next. From Hillside Park upgrades and pickleball courts to rink improvements and block party kits, the city is leaning into summer with a focus on connection, recreation, and local pride. Tonight’s “Coffee with Council” event will continue the conversation — this time over coffee and community tourism.

The grill was hot, the crowd was hungry, and support for local sports was stronger than ever at Wednesday’s Taste of Summer Charity BBQ, hosted by Kingston Midstream.

Held outside Local Buzz Liquor, the event raised $1,390 for Estevan Minor Baseball. 

“It was fantastic,” said EMB President Mel Murray. “Tons of people came out, people I haven’t seen in a long time. It was great to catch up, and the support for the kids was really good.”

Murray said the money will be added to their budget and used where it is most needed.

Estevan’s most anticipated summer event is back — and it’s taking over downtown this weekend.

The Downtown Street Dance makes its triumphant return to 4th Street on Saturday, July 19, and organizers are promising a night packed with energy, music, and community spirit. With live performances, local talent, and a cause worth celebrating, this event is more than just a night out — it’s a celebration of what makes Estevan shine.

With just under $400,000 left to raise, St. Joseph’s Hospital Foundation is celebrating a major milestone in its campaign to bring MRI services to Estevan. The foundation’s newly released Gratitude Report highlights not only the MRI campaign’s momentum, but also the many ways donor contributions have strengthened healthcare across the hospital this past year. Executive Director Lori Gervais joined the SUN 102 Morning Show to share the latest total — now over $6.1 million — and to reflect on the community support that’s made it possible.

Michael’s Coffee Shop & Bakery is bringing its popular Open Mic Night back to Woodlawn Regional Park this Thursday at 6 p.m. The event, held at the Binzebo near Mets Stadium, invites performers of all kinds to share music, readings, and more in a casual, community-focused setting.

Sam Ellis, Manager of the Estevan Michael's Coffee Shop & Bakery joined the SUN 102 Morning show to share some info about the open mic and invite everyone out.

Sometimes the most powerful ideas don’t come from a boardroom — they come from the back pasture. This August, the Southeast TechHub is launching a hands-on initiative with SaskBeef that puts innovation boots-on-the-ground. The concept is simple but impactful: bring innovators out to a working ranch, let them see real-world challenges up close, and help them build solutions that actually fit the industry’s needs.
