Nickle Lake Day at Nickle Lake Regional Park kicked off today with a free pancake breakfast, followed by activities for kids at 10 a.m. in the Beaver Den, with the Weyburn Rowing Club's Beach Sprints on the beach. The Soo Line Cruisers held a Car Show, and the Nickle Lake Market featured many favourite vendors.

Musical performances began at 1:30 with Karissa Hoffart taking the stage, and Kelly Gill and the Hired Guns playing Saturday evening.

The Lighthouse Church in Weyburn will host 'True North: Trusting Jesus in a Wild World', a three-day camp in August for children ages five to 12.

"This is a free event, and we do ask parents to register their kids so we know how many to expect," shared Susan Adderley.

"We've been busy planning a fun, action-packed, guaranteed fun-filled three days for all the kids at the camp. Our events include games, music, dance, drama, talent show, crafts, scavenger hunts, water fights, snacks, Bible stories, movies, just to name a few."

Our listeners have been having lots of fun over the past week.

Here are some of the submitted photos from our great listeners!
