With some of the biggest, most anticipated summer events in Saskatchewan coming to a close for another year (yes, I'm referring to Craven), I've heard rumblings of summer boredom setting in. I've even heard some comments about summer being 'over' now. Well, I'm here to tell you that not only is summer still very much in session, but there are a lot of events and activities going on in Southern Saskatchewan for the duration of July.
