Many of the cafés, restaurants, diners,<br />

eateries or dining spots have built a<br />

solid reputation over the years. Patrons<br />

from near and far swear by the menus<br />

of places like the Rockin’ Horse<br />

Cookhouse & Bar, Redmond House<br />

B&B and Dining Establishment, the<br />

Star Café & Grill in Maple Creek, or<br />

Lumsden’s Brickhouse Bistro.<br />

Others travel equally long distances to<br />

sample the specialties of the Happy<br />

Nun Café in Forget, Hollyhock Market<br />

Natural Foods in Mortlach, or Café de<br />

Paris in Gravelbourg.<br />

And if you’re interested in a closer look<br />

at how delights like wine get from vine<br />

to table, be sure to visit the Cypress<br />

Hills Vineyard & Winery, near Maple<br />

Creek, where you can relax in their<br />

bistro café after viewing the process,<br />

tasting the product, and inspecting the<br />

vineyard gift shop.<br />

There are many other gift shops in<br />

southern <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> of course,<br />

along with fascinating antique marts<br />

and myriad boutique and mall outlets.<br />

Check out Spruce Creek Antiques &<br />

Collectables near Burstall; in Swift<br />

Current, visit Kokopelli’s: Purveyors of<br />

Neat Stuff (including curios, crystals<br />

and gift items), and Et Cetera Et<br />

Cetera, a gift boutique that’s described<br />

as “a gift boutique that defies<br />

description”!<br />

Distinctly unique <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> gifts<br />

are specialties of Bend in the River<br />

Berries in Moose Jaw, and Prairie<br />

Cherry Corner (Over the Hill certified<br />

organic orchards) in Lumsden.<br />

Many times, half the fun of traveling is<br />

deciding where to spend the night.<br />

That’s certainly the case when you’re<br />

visiting southern <strong>Saskatchewan</strong>,<br />

whether it’s for a quick overnighter, a<br />

weekend getaway or a major family<br />

holiday (maybe even with the horse or<br />

dogs!) Whoever you are, wherever<br />

you’re coming from, and however near<br />

or far you may be going -- we’ve got<br />

you covered!<br />

If you’re a fan of Bed & Breakfasts, we<br />

have a wide range of B&Bs, each with<br />

their own distinct style. Sleep in an<br />

authentic log cabin, a tipi or teepee, a<br />

homesteader’s cabin or a two-storey<br />

Eaton’s catalogue house! Sleep close<br />

to the beach, on the banks of a river,<br />

or in the centre of the city action – your<br />

choice!<br />

If you’re planning to camp, tent or<br />

bring your RV, you’ll have a long and<br />

varied list of choices at provincial and<br />

regional parks and private venues,<br />

offering full hook-ups right down to<br />

back country camping – again, the<br />

choice is yours!<br />

Those who prefer to be pampered<br />

while on vacation will be delighted with<br />

the Temple Gardens Mineral Spa in<br />

Moose Jaw, a truly luxurious spa resort<br />

featuring Canada’s largest therapeutic<br />

Tunnels of Moose Jaw<br />

geo-thermal mineral water indoor/<br />

outdoor rooftop pool. And for other<br />

‘big city style’ amenities, stay at least a<br />

night or two at the Bear Claw Casino &<br />

Hotel on the White Bear First Nation<br />

near Carlyle. You’ll find additional<br />

casino action at the Living Sky Casino<br />

in Swift Current, or at Casino Moose<br />

Jaw or Casino Regina.<br />

Visiting southern <strong>Saskatchewan</strong> is<br />

almost like taking a trip around the<br />

world, or a scamper back in time. And<br />

yet, when you’re in our ‘fun zone’,<br />

you’re never far from the warmth of<br />

small-town friendliness and big-city<br />

comforts and conveniences.<br />

Everything is an easy drive, to and<br />

from all the things you like best to see<br />

and do.<br />

<strong>Saskatchewan</strong> is the province that’s<br />

down to earth, where the sky’s the<br />

limit. And as we always say -- you<br />

CAN get here from there. No matter<br />

where “there” may be!<br />
