Nickle Lake Regional Park will be bustling with activity this weekend as the Weyburn Co-Ed Slo-Pitch League is hosting their annual Slo-Pitch and Cornhole tournament fundraiser. Starting with the first slo-pitch game at 6:30 P.M. this Friday evening, 14 teams will take over the three ball diamonds at Nickle Lake, all in support of the Weyburn Gymnastics Club. Carrie Nankivell, president of the Weyburn Co-Ed Slo-Pitch League, explains what’s going on and how this weekend helps sports organizations in Weyburn. 

The Southeast Event Center hosted celebrations for their Grand Opening today.  

After the ceremony, a community lunch hosted approximately 700 people.  

Bouncy castles and inflatable games were moved inside due to a chance of rain, but kids were just as excited for the indoor fun. With face painting and balloon animals the afternoon started off strong.  

Are you ready to show off your perfect pet?

Despite a quick rainshower, Moose Jaw showed up in the hundreds for our fourth Taste of Summer Charity BBQ, presented by Fountain Tire.

Several team members from Square One Community Inc. were on hand, serving lunch featuring a hot dog or hamburger with chips and water. In total, $1,201.25 was raised for the Square One Community Inc.

Join us for our final Taste of Summer Charity BBQ on Wednesday, September 3, from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., which will benefit the Moose Jaw Warriors' Education Fund and Jumpstart.

The Perfect Pet of July goes to Tony!

Tony was entered by his owner, Krista Coderre and has won $50 to Pet Valu Moose Jaw.  Here's what Krista had to say about Tony:

"Tony loves getting his way and going outside for walks as much as possible. He has been trained to sit, ring a bell, and high-five."

It was a beautiful night for families to come together for the annual Access Credit Union (Access) Movie in the Park night in the Morden Park Bowl. It's been a long-standing tradition in the final days of August for Access staff to host this evening filled with fun activities, entertainment, and community connection.   

The Weyburn Humane Society is holding an online auction via Facebook to raise funds for Rosa, a dog who has since been adopted, who tore her ACL while at the shelter. 

"That surgery was quite expensive. It was about $3,500. So that's our goal for this auction. If we exceed that goal, the money raised will go towards paying off other surgeries and other expenses that aren't everyday costs," said Cayla Shelly, an employee at the animal shelter.

Southeast Saskatchewan is getting a double dose of music this month as singer-songwriter JJ Voss hits the stage for a series of community events. Known for his heartfelt performances, Voss will be performing at fundraisers in Burgers Beat, the Coal Creek Festival in Rasporcy, and the Barn Dance at Cave Creek Ranch just outside Estevan.

“It’s my way of trying to give back,” Voss said, reflecting on his long career in music. “Anytime I can contribute by performing for an event and trying to do some good and raise some funds, that’s my way of contributing.”

It’s time to shine a spotlight on our latest Pet of the Day winners! Deanna Schmidt and her handsome pig, Morty, have captured our hearts. At 11 years old, Morty enjoys the finer things in life—especially lounging and tanning on the deck, soaking up every ray of sunshine. Their laid-back lifestyle and charming personalities earned them a prize pack from LR Horse and Pet—congratulations!

But Morty isn’t the only star in this week’s submissions. Our community shared an adorable collection of pets enjoying their favorite spots:
