A pair of local teens are turning heads and warming hearts as they dance their way through a busy neighborhood, gearing up for Halloween in a most unexpected way. Meet the self-proclaimed "Baby Shark" and "Petunia Hippo," who have been spreading joy on the streets, decked out in impromptu costumes and groovy moves.

When asked why they decided to break into spontaneous dance performances, Hippo, age 15, giggled, "I was just bored." Meanwhile, Shark, age 17, had a more seasonal answer: "I guess Halloween's almost here!"

The Weyburn Public Library is making it easy for families to take part in the annual tradition of pumpkin-carving this Thursday, October 24th, with two time slots and plenty of room for all of the gutting and cutting involved in making jack-o-lanterns just in time for Halloween.

The best part - the mess doesn't have to be made on your kitchen table.

With the advance polls now open for the provincial election, people are heading out to cast their ballots, with the campaign staff of the candidates doing their part to get out the vote.  

The Weyburn Concert Series kicked off its season earlier this month with an exciting performance by Canadian country star George Canyon. 

"We had a really good attendance, and people absolutely loved our kickoff to the season," said Linda Aitken, a volunteer with the Weyburn Concert Series.

Music uniquely brings people together, and Aitken believes this season will be no different. 

"Music speaks to all of us. No matter how old we are or whatever, it doesn't matter what colour we are, music talks to all of us in its own way," she shared.

Next weekend, Weyburn’s Troy Kramm will see hundreds of hours of work culminate in a first in the world of professional wrestling – a show staged in Mexico, organized by a Canadian promotion.  

“Our card is fully stacked,” Kramm told Discover Weyburn. “We have everybody. We have a little bit of everything for everyone I think.” 

A big congratulations to our Volunteer of the Month Stacey Langen!

Langen has been volunteering for many years with Westmount Hot Lunch which delivers food to the students at Westmount School.

"It was a lovely surprise to get this nomination. I volunteer at the Westmount Elementary School as part of the parent council group. I coordinate all the hot lunches that our kids receive on Wednesdays," said Langen.

She explained why she decided to jump into the volunteering world.

We are getting two bunnies!

These are not something we usually take in, but given the circumstances we are hoping to find them a forever home.

Both are unfixed males, well trained and very social! We approximate them to be mature adults!

If you can foster or know of someone who can adopt them please reach out!!!

Lovely Libby-

She is looking for a new home with a family who can give her pets and has a fenced yard.

Mark your calendar for a fun Halloween event which will support local athletes planning to attend various competitions.

Beasley Male, DSH Grey. Polydactyl

You will never find Beasley far from his brother's side. In an ideal world we would like these two kept together but for the right home we will consider separating them. Beasley is bold and confident. Loves snuggles when he is not in play mode.
