Town-wide yard sale registration has started. I've attached the poster I made for info.
NEW this year, people will register their scarecrows so I can make a map of them for judges and everyone else to see them. I've attached my sign for that too. Theme: Classic Scarecrows...Party like it's 1992!

Weiming Zhao
Weiming Zhao was in Souris painting again this past week! Take a look below at his beautiful art. This is what he said when he posted his pictures:
"Spent 6 hours yesterday exploring the beauty of the town with my brushes and easel. We have been to Souris so many times and yet we had never been to the golf course until yesterday. The view from the Club House is breathtaking! I set up my easel there painting against strong gust of wind."
More pictures painted Saturday!
