If you’re planning to make this Saskatchewan Day long weekend truly unforgettable, Discover Estevan has got your itinerary covered, no excuses, just adventures waiting to happen! Whether you’re craving fireworks by the lake, antique tractors, heritage fairs, or rodeo thrills, there’s something for everyone. Here are some spots you simply can't miss!

You're embracing the whole southeast from Midale, Moosomin, Kisbey, Carlyle, Wawota, and Estevan, and every community’s bringing the heat.

We are officially at the end of the month of July, which means we are back to draw another winner for this month's Trip of the Month!

The theme for July was "Nature's Beauty! Canmore or Banff."

And this month's lucky winner is... Michael and Catherine Close!

August's theme is "Cruising Along! Caribbean or Alaska," listen to the Country 104.9 morning show at the end of the month for the draw!

Verity Developments is hosting an open house at the Nicholson Centre (701 Souris Ave) today at 4 PM to discuss their proposed apartment project on North Wellock Road, which requires rezoning and infrastructure upgrades.

The project involves rezoning land currently designated for single-family homes to allow multi-unit apartments. Construction could start this fall, pending approvals. The proposal also includes consolidating lots and upgrading sanitary services and traffic lanes.

August long weekend is upon us, with a statutory holiday on Monday in honour of Saskatchewan Day. This weekend is a jam-packed weekend here in the southeast, with families having their pick of events from which to choose, amid what is likely to be perfect weather.

Carnie's Comments

It's time for Facebook Friday - I find the best of the best just for you.

I like this, "When a kid says, 'Daddy, I want mommy', that's the kid version of 'I'd like to speak to your supervisor'."

A question "If you didn't cry while your dad was trying to teach you math at the kitchen table, did you even really have a childhood?"

This friend shares, "There are two types of people. I avoid both."

A fellow radio announcer posting, "I think I successfully fixed my friend's microphone...still waiting for some feedback."

Our Moo for Meat contest is in full swing and all you have to do is listen for our sound of the cow.

If you hear our friendly bovine mooing text us 'meat' for your chance to win! 

Congrats to this week's winner Lorilee Bentley.

You can enter in multiple times, every time you hear to moo, but you can only win once.

This week, the Country Coffee Break made a stop at Masterfeeds in Grunthal! 

Jennifer nominated her coworker Simone, recognizing her as incredibly helpful and an all-around great teammate. 

To celebrate their hard work, Country 107 dropped by with coffee and donuts, thanks to LinkWell Insurance Group! 

Name That Tune today was classic 90's and early 2000's.

Leanne was our contestant today and she played it safe. 

Listen to our conversation below. 

You could be next to play tune in Friday mornings to hear the song of the day.
