COMMUNITY Weyburn Concert Series is Proud to
Weyburn Concert Series is excited to finally have Tenille Arts on our concert stage. Born and raised right here in Weyburn, Tenille’s dream of performing took root at the tender age of eight. A neighbour overheard her singing a Shania Twain song and encouraged her mom to help her pursue music.

By 2009, Tenille was posting videos of her own versions of popular country songs, one of those being Taylor Swift’s “Fifteen.” That particular video captured the attention of a talent manager from Nashville. Arts briefly moved to Nashville to pursue this opportunity, but soon returned home to finish high school.
In 2015, wanting to advance her song writing skills, Tenille moved to Nashville. She signed a publishing contract and released “Breathe”, a charity single in support of Cystic Fibrosis research. Arts released her full-length album “Rebel Child” in October 2017, having written 10 of the album’s 11 songs. Entertainment site PopCulture.com, named her one of their 2018 Artists to Watch. Tenille’s haunting mysterious song “Cold Feet” and her video helped grow her fan base. The song also received much Billboard Country acclaim.
Her national television debut came on January 29, 2018, singing “Moment of Weakness” on the hit ABC show The Bachelor. This was key to accelerating her country music career. Six weeks later, Tenille signed a recording deal with Reviver Records and has not had a minute to look back since. Her accolades to date are numerous—it’s all happening for our Weyburn girl and we wish her nothing but the absolute best! www.tenillearts.com

Weyburn Concert Series is stoked to be closing our current season with a great tribute: American Woman – Celebrating the Music of “The Guess Who.”
The Guess Who were the most successful Canadian rock group of the late 1960s and early 1970s, and Canada’s first rock superstars. The song writing team of Randy Bachman and lead singer-keyboardist Burton Cummings wrote many rock classics. One of those, “American Woman,” was the first song by a Canadian band to ever hit number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
The Guess Who were inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of fame in 1987. As Canada’s ‘Walk of Fame’ noted upon the band’s 2001 induction, The Guess Who “were the guys who made it okay to be Canadian, who proved that you didn’t have to leave our shores to score big. And they’ve influenced just about every Canadian performer who has followed since.” americanwomanshow.com

to Those Who Camp Good Things Come
By Brook Thalgott
There might be snow on the ground, but it’s time to think about summer vacations and long weekends. Saskatchewan summers are beautiful and SHORT. We have to make the most of every sunny day. Now is the time to start thinking about where you want to spend your summer days, whether it’s tucked into a tent, pulling a trailer or parking an RV.
In Weyburn, camping is available at River Park, and its home to the start of the Tatagwa Parkway Trail System. River Park is a great spot for a staycation, or the perfect place for visiting friends and family to set up this summer.
Nearby, you can enjoy the outdoors at Nickle Lake Regional Park. Less than ten minutes down the highway, there’s a beach and paddling pool, boating, fishing, mini-golf and more. Campsites can be booked at nicklelakeregionalpark.com.
A little further afield near Midale, there’s Mainprize Regional Park. Golfers will love the 18-hole course, and there is great fishing, boating and beach swimming. Learn more at mainprizepark.com.
BOOK YOUR SITE Saskatchewan Provincial Parks Campsite Booking starts April 15, 2020. Book at saskparks.goingtocamp.com. Saskatchewan Regional Park information can be found at saskregionalparks.ca. Booking dates vary by park.
Moose Mountain Provincial Park near Carlyle has everything a camper could ask for. The gentle hills are dotted with poplar and birch trees, and you can truly get away from it all—without the long drive. Enjoy everything from golf to boating, swimming to hiking and more. Be sure to visit the Artist’s Colony and the nearby Cannington Manor Historic Site. Grab the kids and splash the day away at the Kenosee Superslides, or spend an evening at the Bear Claw Casino & Hotel.
Estevan also has a lot to offer this summer. Woodlawn Regional Park is close by, with camping facilities for everything from tents to trailers. Fish or paddle on the Souris River, hike on the trails, enjoy the beach at Boundary Dam, or see a show at the Souris Valley Theatre. Book your site at woodlawnregionalpark.com.
While you’re there, you can hit the links at the beautiful TS&M Woodlawn Golf Club. After your golf game, stop in for drinks and dinner at the Clubhouse. Anglers should head straight to Boundary Dam Reservoir for the only largemouth bass fishing in the province. Because of the power plant close by, the warm water allows the largemouth bass to flourish, and summer is the best time to go bass fishing.
You don’t have to go far to camp this summer—the southeast has it all. Just gas up the car, pack up the family and go.
Southeast Staycation
You don’t have to go far to find summer fun. Stay close to home and still have a blast.
For history buffs, there’s Weyburn & Area Heritage Village—the replica village showcases life from the turn of the 20th century to the 1940s. The Soo Line Historical Museum on Highway 39 East is home to the largest private silver collection in the world, plus the historical artifacts from Weyburn and area.
River Park Spray Park is the perfect place to keep the kids happy on those long, hot days.
For the art lover, the Signal Hill Arts Centre hosts arts and culture events throughout the summer.
Lose yourself in the Tatagwa Parkway Trails, taking in the breathtaking scenery as you walk, jog or bike the day away.

THE COLOUR OF THE YEAR
Say Hello to Pantone 19-4052 Classic Blue
By Brook Thalgott
Did you know that Pantone chooses a colour of the year, every year? They do, and this year it’s PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue. It’s a gorgeous shade of blue, meant for “instilling calm, confi dence, and connection, this enduring blue hue highlights our desire for a dependable and stable foundation on which to build as we cross the threshold into a new era.”
This year, you’re going to find Classic Blue incorporated into the design of every issue of REFINED. You’ll also spot it in other places, like home décor and fashion, because Pantone Color Institute helps brands with the top seasonal runway colors and forecasts color trends using the “power, psychology, and emotion of color.”
Have you ever considered the psychology of colour, and how we relate to the colours we see every day? Let’s have a quick look at the emotions associated with colour.
We are living in a time that requires trust and faith. It is this kind of constancy and confidence that is expressed by PANTONE 19-4052 Classic Blue, a solid and dependable blue hue we can always rely on. Imbued with a deep resonance, Classic Blue provides an anchoring foundation. A boundless blue evocative of the vast and infinite evening sky, Classic Blue encourages us to look beyond the obvious to expand our thinking; challenging us to think more deeply, increase our perspective and open the flow of communication.” “
- Leatrice Eiseman, Executive Director of the Pantone Color Institute.
Red Loving, romantic, exciting – it’s the colour of Valentine’s Day and Christmas, and the colour for many sports teams and major brands such as Coca-Cola, Levi’s and Netflix.
Orange
Adventurous, enthusiastic, energetic – think sunsets, soda pop and brands like Harley-Davidson, MasterCard and Shell.
Yellow Cheerful, optimistic, happy – it’s about sunshine, flowers and Best Buy, McDonald’s and Ferrari.
Green Calm, cool, harmonious – how about lush trees, fresh salads and Starbucks, Heinken and John Deere.
Blue Serene, wise, loyal – the colour of lakes, flax fields in June and VISA, GM and Facebook.
Purple Sophisticated, exotic, royal – it’s grapes, lilacs, and Cadbury, Hallmark and FedEx.
Brown
Reliable, stable, secure – think of chocolate, coffee and bears, plus Hershey, UPS and Louis Vuitton.
Black Powerful, intelligent, strong – it’s licorice, tuxedos, and charcoal…and Adidas, Chanel and Nike.
White Pure, innocent, clean – clouds, cotton, weddings – and every brand has a white version of their logo!
Have a look around you—colour surrounds us every day. Colour evokes emotions of all kinds, and it’s a powerful tool for the brands you love to communicate without saying a word. This year see how many times you can spot Classic Blue in the world and in our magazine. We hope you’ll enjoy Classic Blue as much as we do.
Let the Evening
Be-GIN
2020 is in full swing, and you know what’s also in? Gin. The 70s staple is back in a big way. Gin is enjoying a resurgence for a few reasons. First, it’s incredibly versatile in cocktails—and cocktails are popular these days. Second, microdistilleries are mixing things up with new flavours, ingredients and colours, and gin is a distillery staple. Finally, gin is also tied to our growing interest in plant-based foods. People are eating and drinking a more plant-based diet, and gin is made from the humble juniper.
