The 2025 Saskatchewan Amateur Golf Championships teed off Tuesday morning at the Humboldt Golf Club, bringing over 150 of the province’s top golfers to the region. 

This marks the first time the Men’s Amateur Championship has ever been held in Humboldt. While the Women’s Amateur made a stop here in 2014 and the Mixed Championship followed in 2017, this week represents a significant milestone for both the club and the city. 

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.

We had the chance to chat with country gospel singer-songwriter Troy MacNaughton. Troy has visited Kindersley several times, working with Better Together and performing not only for Canada Day but also at events throughout the region.

After spending 12 years in Nashville, Tennessee, Troy realized his true calling was much closer to home. He returned with his talent, love for music, and a drive to share his faith with a wider audience.

This past weekend brought the heat—and a whole lot of winning! Congratulations to Dee Brandt of Winkler, the lucky winner of the Morden Home Hardware Rockin’ Summer Weekend Blitz!

It’s a show and shine so big that it spans two communities, and it’s back this year bigger and better than ever.  

The Watrous Fun Run is a show that’s sure to delight car enthusiasts, but there is something for everyone young and old. The show goes on July 26 on Main Street in Watrous with the traditional Fun Run down to nearby Manitou Beach happening around 3 pm.  

This week’s Adorable Adoptables star is Titan, a dog so big and speckled you might mistake him for a cow at first glance.

“He’s white with these black spots and kind of has that cow-dog look,” says Robyn Roy, communications coordinator with the Cochrane & Area Humane Society.

“But don’t worry, he doesn’t moo.”

Titan is four years old and full of love. Despite his size, he walks nicely on a leash and is always ready for a snuggle.

It's time for the best of the best from the Twitterati on Twitter Tuesday.

We'll start with some advice, "Live life to the fullest, eat the whole Jalapeño."

This one from a funny gal I follow, "My emergency preparedness kit just contains all the ingredients necessary to make tacos."

I like this, "In the ’80s, they told us 'Mikey likes it!', about Life cereal. I just hope Mikey’s okay. The rest of us aren’t."

That same girl says, "Sometimes I clean the house so if I die unexpectedly, people will think I had it together."

Saskatchewan Parks Week is underway, and Moose Mountain Provincial Park is marking the occasion with free entry and special programming on Saturday, July 19.

Acting park manager Ainsley Sauter said while there is no set theme this year, the week serves as an opportunity to encourage people to enjoy the outdoors and explore what provincial parks have to offer.

“It’s just a week to encourage people to get out and explore Saskatchewan provincial parks. Try different things or continue doing what you love,” she said.
