SwiftCurrent

Casey Prychak hit his first home run of the season, but the Swift Current 57's fell 16-6 to the Moose Jaw Miller Express in WCBL action last night.

It was the first of four straight games between the two clubs.

The 57's managed 10 hits and 6 runs in the game but couldn't keep Moose Jaw's offence in check.

William Edwards led the way for the Millar Express with two home runs in their victory.

They meet again tonight at Mitchell Field.

First pitch is 7:05 PM.

Brady Simpson and Shane Cornelson each had hat tricks as the Swift Current Wolverines blew the Regina Chaos out 14-5 last night.

Simpson added 4 assists to his 3 goals for a 7-point night. 

Grady Henderson had 2 goals and 3 assists for Swift Current in the win, while Isaac Froese added 2 goals and 2 assists.

Swift Current wraps up their regular season schedule tonight against the league-leading Prince Albert Predators.

Prince Albert has yet to lose in 8 games this season.

Cruisin the 32 saw a large host of hot rods take over Pennant on Saturday.

Standard Street had 50 vehicles come to town and register for the show. From big blocks to two strokes, there was a little bit of everything. Brand new Corvettes, original 1920's town cars, custom built trucks and all original rides packed the pavement, mixing and mingling before the 2 p.m. cruise to Cabri.

Organizing this event for the fifth year in a row was Jason Dowdeswell, who brought out both his 1983 Chevrolet pickup truck, and hus custom resto-mod, Brutus.

The Lancer ferry has been closed for the time being.

The official reason for the closure is listed as being due to low water levels.

Swift Current Online will provide any additional information or updates as they become available.

Swift Current will have a detour around a watermain break today.

The break is located at the intersection of Second Avenue Northwest and Lorne Street.

City crews are working on repairs, with motorists asked to be aware of their presence.

Father’s Day weekend is filled with great events for your whole family in Swift Current and southwest Saskatchewan.

Here’s just a few of the big events going on this weekend:

Hazlet Sports Days

The beautiful community of Hazlet is celebrating their sports days this weekend. Events for Saturday include a pancake breakfast, the Lions’ Parade and a kids’ carnival, with a Father’s Day supper wrapping up the weekend at Hazlet Regional Park.

Renovations at a southwest business led to a shocking discovery in the historic building's basement, an anomalous wall, complete with windows and a door, holding secrets of the past that have yet to be uncovered.

The Broken Spoke in Maple Creek not only houses a wide range of local artworks but also a fascinating wall encompassing several bricked-up windows and a bricked-up door.

ELROSE, Sask. — The past and present will come together this July as the community of Elrose prepares to welcome visitors home for a weekend of connection, celebration and Prairie hospitality.

The Elrose Homecoming is set for July 25–27, offering three days of events designed to appeal to all ages — from wiener roasts and photo booths to dances, parades and a high-flying motocross performance.

A Father’s Day tradition for over three decades, the Walleye Classic returns for its 35th year this Saturday, June 14, for an event full of fishing, food, live entertainment, and more. It’s just a few short days away—and it isn’t too late to sign up.

“They can go to www.riverhurstwalleye.ca and register online. All the payment information and everything is right on the website, and it's $260 to enter for a team,” said Chairman of the Walleye Classic Committee, Cameron Durfey.

Southwest residents, nature enthusiasts, and more can tune in to a duo of free educational webinars taking place next week, highlighting different aspects of the prairies during Native Prairie Appreciation Week.

The Saskatchewan Prairie Conservation Action Plan's Native Speaker Series will feature a webinar on Monday delving into urban wildlife in prairie cities, while a Tuesday webinar will showcase the connection between wildlife, geology, and more.
