Although there was snow on the ground yesterday am, I had to go to Regina for my weekly Creative Entrepreneurship class at the SK Arts Board.  I checked the weather forecast and it seemed like Mother Nature would cooperate and keep it cool enough to keep the snow we had plus add a bit more.  [...]

The World comes to Swift Current (and snow dye update)
