With rainy weather in the forecast, we decided to leave Good Spirit Lake Provincial Park a day early to start our trek of 9 hours to Edmonton. We drove 3.5 of those hours on lonely, flat highways and arrived in Saskatoon.
We immediately liked the vibe of this "small city with a big-city feel". Downtown was clean and well-laid out. We happened upon the Beer Wars and the Canadian Elite Basketball League (CEBL) 3-on-3 championship festivals. The kids pulled hard towards the basketball and Nathan, in particular, was on cloud nine! There were food trucks, live music and many street games to watch.
We chose to spend our Friday night doing what many families do in
Saskatoon...attending live horse-racing. Marquis Downs stadium was full
of people of all ages, including many young families. The energy of
the crowd and the anticipation of picking the winning horse kept us all entertained. We even won some bets!!

I used to live in Saskatoon. I loved it there. Be sure to do the Meewasin trail along the river.
ReplyDeleteWe talked about you while we were in Saskatoon as I seemed to remember you lived there for a bit.
