Bonus Episode - Saskatoon Summer Hidden Gems

There is always something happening in Saskatoon during the summertime. From Shakespeare on the Saskatchewan and the Fringe Festival, to the Saskatoon Ex and Rock the River, there is something for everyone to enjoy in our community.  Last week, my wife and I went for a walk on the Train Bridge on a beautiful afternoon. We don't often walk in that area of the city, and reminded me of how beautiful the views are of the South Saskatchewan River standing on the Train Bridge. It also gave me an idea for a summer bonus episode of the podcast: hidden gems to experience during a Saskatoon summer. Not that the Train Bridge is a hidden gem, but it's not a place I frequent. I reached out to my friend, and one of Saskatoon's greatest ambassadors, Darby Sutherland, to see if she would like to be on the podcast to share some ideas and give some suggestions of hidden gems in our community this summer. Darby is the Destination PR and Earned Media Manager for Discover Saskatoon. She works with media from across Canada and around the world who wish to experience all that Saskatoon has to offer. If there is something cool and interesting happening in Saskatoon, it's a safe bet Darby knows about it. When I emailed Darby to pitch this idea, I suggested we do it at the TD SaskJazz Fest before the Modest Mouse concert. I was hoping she would be going, and as you will hear in the episode, she did indeed have a ticket (as did 4,500 other people...it was a fantastic show!).  Darby shares a host of great locations and experiences listeners should check out this summer. I'll put the list with links below. A big thank you to Darby for turning this idea into reality. I hope you enjoy this episode and have a wonderful summer here in Saskatoon!
