The temperature in the Foothills won't be as high this weekend as it was last, but there is still plenty to do.

Let's check out to see what's happening in the Foothills this weekend:

Friday, July 4:

Front ways. Sideways. Backwards. Rally cap. There's a lot of ways you can wear a hat. But is there an age range where putting your hat on backwards is no longer 'cool'?

I've had this debate before. I'm not sure what the appropriate answer is. But I think there's two different timelines. Timeline number 1 would be the high school/early 20s timeframe, where wearing your hat backwards is really the only direction it can physically go if you're not in sports. Than there's the dad timeframe, where you have the backwards trucker hat. But it has to be a mesh trucker hat.

I have been around racing my entire life.

My dad has years of circle track experience on the dirt and asphalt, a few drag race cars capable of turning heads; those speeds nothing compared to my former NHRA top-alcohol dragster driver uncle.

One common theme around racing is family. In the pits, in the stands, at the starting line, or even napping in the camper for the younger crowd.

Red Apple in Humboldt is officially back and better than ever! The doors are open, the shelves are stocked, and the savings are huge as the store celebrates its grand reopening with fresh new style and deals for the whole family.

But that’s not all. There’s even more fun in store with “Where in the 306 is the Bolt FM DJ?” The Bolt FM DJ is on site and you can enter in to win a $250.00 gift card.

Celebrate local, shop smart, and join the excitement at Red Apple Humboldt.

Congrats to our winner Magorlen!

The Reid Thompson Public Library is set to transform into a hub of creativity, learning, and community fun this July with an exciting array of family-friendly programs, including magic workshops, musical performances, STEM activities, therapy animal visits, and the return of a balloon-twisting favorite. 

At the center of the month’s magic is Danny Kazam, who will lead a special Magic Camp for kids, followed by a community-wide performance. 

Swift Current's parks are set to take off with activity for the summer. 

The Summer Parks Program is going to launch on Monday, July 7, with the first edition in Highland Park beginning at 9 a.m. The day is set up for play-along activities, making some friends, and giving parents a chance to mingle and meet each other. 

The program is for kids aged 6-11, and will have Play Leaders on location from 9 a.m. to noon, and again from 1 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. They will be responsible for setting up safe play environments, managing activities, and helping to ensure everyone has fun.

If you have a creative kid at home make sure to get their creative juices flowing by getting them to enter our Monsters and Mayhem contest. 

Kids aged 12 and under can head to the contest page and submit a drawing of their very own monster truck creation for a chance to win one of five family packages of tickets and a ride on a monster truck when Monsters and Mayhem comes to Swift Current Jul 12/13 sponsored by Akhlut  Automotive.
