One of my favourite hair cutting places is gone! I came back
from a trip to Edmonton in November and decided I needed a cut, but the place
(across from The Roastery) had
disappeared. It was run by a couple of women, they charged reasonable rates, I
liked the way they cut my hair, and they had a cute little dog. What more could
you ask for? I feel a bit guilty because I don’t get my hair cut that often (I
let it grow quite a bit and then get it chopped off), and sometimes I do try
out other hair cutting places. But I always went back to A Bit off the Top. I have no
idea what happened because there was no sign up that they’d moved, and the
phone number is not in service. So if anyone out there knows anything about
this, please tell me!
Artisan Fine Craft
Market
I haven’t attended this event for a number of years, but I
always liked it when I did. Saskatchewan has wonderful crafts people who are renowned
not only in this province and country, but also in other parts of the word. The
Artisan co-operative does a great job of presenting some of the best work in
clay, fibre, metal, wood, glass, printmaking, painting, paper, mixed media, and
so on. The entrance fee is only $5, and since the event is held toward the end
of November, it’s a great opportunity to buy unique Christmas presents. I have
got to get there next year!
A Taste of
Saskatchewan
Spend a summer afternoon by the Saskatchewan River, eating
good food and listening to music. I haven’t been to this event for a few years
either. Although I think it’s great, I do have a couple of quibbles that have
kept me away. One is that the same restaurants show up year after year
presenting the same food. I’d like a little variety, please! A friend of mine
told me that in 2013 they did have some changes, so I hope that continues in
the future. My other quibble is the large amount of food that most servings
include. Rather than eating only one big meal, I’d like to be able to sample
several, so I’d be happier with portions that are half to one quarter the size.
And thus they could charge less! I think others would appreciate these changes
also.
