Stellar Performances, Special Effects and Leather Pants Make Stars on Ice a Hit

May 16, 2013 by Kathryn 2 Comments

Figure skating is such a beautiful sport. The combination of athletic ability, breathtaking tricks and beautiful choreography captivates me every time and I love watching a really good show. Recently Jergens offered me the chance to check out the Saskatoon performance of Stars on Ice featuring some of Canada’s most popular and talented figure skaters including Patrick Chan, Ashley Wagner and the incredible Kurt Browning, my favourite figure skater ever since I watched him win the World Championships when I was just a child.

But as much as I would have loved to attend, the two-hour drive was a bit much to manage and I knew that my mother and sister would appreciate the experience even more since my sister used to be a figure skater herself. My mother, Sharlee and her good friend Hannah were thrilled to head to the Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon to check out the show and the girls loved it so much, they couldn’t stop talking about it!

Harlem Shake in Small Town Saskatchewan

February 22, 2013 by Kathryn 6 Comments

Living in a town of 1,800 people in the middle of the Saskatchewan prairies doesn’t necessarily make for the most exciting social scene. So what do folks in Lumsden do for fun? They go to the bar and create a Harlem Shake meme, of course!

I hear a lot of jokes about living in a small town in an overlooked province, but it’s things like this that make me proud to be Lumsden born and bred. Seriously, who does things like this?
