Wednesday
August 2, 2006
by : Timothy W. Shire
Rosthern :Essential a golf course with a campground but both are sumptious and a credit to Saskatchewan as one of those places to visit and enjoy. We went to the park because of last week's Greenwater Report to see the Dry Street show in Rosthern's Station Art's Centre. The Valley Regional Park was a bonus. This story includes a short video clip and a remarkable QuickTime VR panorama, both require QuickTime to view.
