With the summer solstice upon us, another sure sign of the sunny season is the return of the Manitou Beach Busking Festival set to kick off on Thursday, June 26 and run through Saturday, June 28. 

The Busking Festival is an entertainment package unlike any other Saskatchewan summertime festival because the resort village itself becomes the festival grounds and businesses and outdoor public venues become the stage.

It's just a fun way to finish the week - it's Facebook Friday! I find the best from the best.

Posts like this one, "If you play guitar and want to know the secret to making it sound better, please, stay tuned."

I like this, "Pro tip - meal prepping is a great way to ensure you always have food that is cold, a little old and not what you're in the mood for."

Here's a funny friend who shares, "Make someone's day more exciting this weekend by texting 'On my way' at 7:30 am when you don't have plans."

There is a rainfall warning in effect for the Foothills this weekend, but there is still plenty of things to do around Okotoks.

It's expected to rain upwards of 80 mm by Saturday evening, but that won't halt the fun, so let's see what's happening this weekend:

It has been an eventful year both on and off the ice for the Humboldt Broncos over the last year. A coaching change created a busy summer as Scott Barney stepped down as Head Coach in June to accept the Head Coach/GM job with the Sudbury Wolves of the Onario Hockey League. Brayden Klimosko eventually became the team’s new head coach in July.  

On the ice, the season was shorter than what everyone would want, following an exit in the opening round of the playoffs.

A Christian instructor with Millar College of the Bible is taking notes from his students and pursuing his musical passion through a new hip-hop album.

Winnipeg Christian artist and worship leader, Carine Bado, is releasing her first single after a year and a half, with a powerful, underlying story behind it.

"'A Blessing in the Making' is a song I started writing just a few days after the passing of my mom," says Bado. "I went to the Ivory Coast last year for my goodbyes. During the almost 20-hour flight back, the song came into my head with an upbeat tempo."

Bado was unable to get to her mother before she passed away from cancer, but she was able to be with family for the funeral on the West Coast of Africa.
