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 />
