Untitled-1 1 2015-03-10 11:11 AM Music Festivals Heap on the talent for 2015

Every time I write a tourism story for The Western Producer, I am amazed by the events our province hosts that I didn’t even know about. It stands true with this story about music festivals. You can almost fill up each weekend from mid-June toM id-August with music from every genre – whether it’s folk and jazz, to country and rock, and everything in between. Most festivals are family-friendly, with children’s activities that include parades, special crafts, kite festivals and cultural experiences that will teach them about the wonderful people groups in Saskatchewan. While this list is by no means complete (I’ve left out some of the more well-known events like the Craven Jamboree and the SaskTel Saskatchewan Jazz Festival in Saskatoon) it’s a great resource to get your fill of music that will keep your toes tapping and your heart singing! | By CHERYL KRETT

The rich and highly buoyant saline waters beckon many visitors to central Saskatchewan each year. Guests enjoy temperatures ranging from 94 degrees to 102 degrees Fahrenheit in different areas of the pool. Affectionately known as Canada’s “Little Dead Sea,” the lake was formed when the glaciers retreated after the last ice age. Fed by underground springs, it has a mineral content with extremely high sodium, magnesium and potassium salts. First Nations people believed in the healing powers of this water, and named the lake Manitou after the great spir- it.
