It is official - summer has ended. As the warm weather and days in the sunshine fade into memory, it begs us to consider what lies ahead: Christmas. And the best part? We do not have to wait three months to enjoy it!

For decades, Moose Jaw has gotten a jumpstart on the festivities with a weekend that has become synonymous with the holiday itself. Every year, thousands of visitors join local residents for a weekend of early holiday activity — which for many has become a yearly tradition.

Each year, the event only seems to grow as word spreads of this holiday tradition in the quaint city of Moose Jaw. Moose Jaw offers a unique experience that leaves visitors impressed, and perhaps even nostalgic for a simplicity and convenience of holiday enjoyment, while at the same time offering unparalleled quality and uniqueness.

With a historic downtown alive with shops, boutiques, cafés, restaurants, theatres, spas, specialty stores, and attractions — there is no shortage of what to see and do. It is a common sentiment shared with visitors that are pleasantly surprised with what Moose Jaw has to offer — and Christmas in October weekend pulls out all the stops. Main Street gets an early holiday revival with the lights going up and vendors adorning their locations with this year’s latest holiday trends.

Perhaps the success of Christmas in October exists

in the tangible spirit that is alive with every step and turn as you explore the city and the event that brings the city to life with the magic of the holidays.

Moose Jaw has become a destination for Christmas. The yearly event beckons the holiday spirit before the snow falls, and the hustle and bustle of the season takes over. With the capacity to walk from the door of your hotel and step into business after business celebrating the spirit of the season, it is no wonder the event continues to impress.

The concentrated core of downtown Moose Jaw leaves you nothing short of captivated with each step and every turn — all against the alluring backdrop of historical elegance.

Shop this year’s latest trends at the many exclusive boutiques; relish the tastes that beckon holiday memories; spoil your senses with a spa refresher; or find that perfectly unique gift that is sure to delight everyone on your list. Christmas in October in Moose Jaw has become more than just a weekend packed with sights to see and things to do. The event is a celebration of local businesses that come together to showcase what really sets this city apart... all wrapped up with a little holiday sparkle!

Moose Jaw has that ability to draw you into its charm, its history and its welcoming embrace.

Christmas in October beckons you into the holiday spirit, alive with festivities and unequivocal seasonal magic.

It all begins October 20.

TREES 2016

The Christmas spirit of giving continues on Saturday, Nov. 19th as the Moose Jaw Health Foundation’s 25th Annual Festival of Trees holiday gala gets under way at the Heritage Inn in Moose Jaw. This year’s theme, “Black/Gold,” will inspire a glamorous holiday as Festival of Trees celebrates its 25th Anniversary, and the 30th Anniversary of the Moose Jaw Health Foundation.

The Festival’s volunteer committee is once again led by the talented Laurie Kosior. Her incredible team of volunteers is already hard at work creating an incredible event for the community. Their tireless effort in organizing this event directly benefits patients and citizens of Moose Jaw and Southern Saskatchewan who utilize the new Dr. F.H. Wigmore Regional Hospital.

Proceeds from Festival will help the Moose Jaw Health Foundation’s purchase of new cutting edge laparoscopic surgery equipment for the expanded surgical facilities at the new regional hospital.

Each year, the evening’s highlight is the gala’s auction of uniquely decorated trees and other fantastic items, with a gourmet dinner and dance included in the festive annual event.

Tickets will be available by calling Sherryn at the Moose Jaw Health Foundation Office in Moose Jaw at 306-694-0373. The price of tickets is $200 each. Please reserve your tickets early as this event sells out every year.

The Annual Festival of Trees Family brunch will be held at the Heritage Inn on Sunday, Nov. 20. Doors open at 11:30 a.m. for viewing of the trees and other auction items, with brunch starting at noon.

Tickets for this event are also available by calling Sherryn at the Health Foundation office at 306-694-0373.

Tickets are $25 for Adults and $10 for children.

The train that does…

CAROL TODD Canadian Pacific Railway’s (CP) Holiday Train is the engine that not only could, but does, help feed communities across North America.

Since 1999, two special trains — one in Canada and one in the U.S. — have travelled the tracks during the holiday season. The Holiday Train program began as an employee initiative, according to CP spokesperson Salem Woodrow. “It was identified by employees that local hunger issues really matter to them,” she says. Roughly 450,000 people celebrated with the CP Holiday Train last year, raising more than $1.4 million for food banks along its route.

The trains chug across Canada and the United States raising money and food for local food banks and helping increase awareness of hunger issues.

They travel roughly 10,000 kilometres each year, visiting more than 150 communities. This year, the Holiday Train will stop in Moose Jaw on Mon., Dec. 5 at 8 p.m. at 3 Manitoba St. W., just west of the CP station.

Each Holiday Train is about 1,000 feet long, and is made up of 14 rail cars decorated with hundreds of thousands of technology-leading LED lights and holiday designs. Each has one modified boxcar that has been transformed into a travelling stage for performers. The concerts are free, but attendees are encouraged to make a donation to the food bank — either a non-perishable food item or a cash donation. Information on this year’s performers, as well as other details, will be available at www.cpr.ca/en/ community/holiday-train, and through Facebook and Twitter later this month.

Everything raised in each community stays in that community, and CP also makes donations at each stop. “The Holiday Train has really become part of the local communities’ social fabric, and it is a really important fundraiser. Families come out, enjoy a festive evening and donate money or food for the food bank, directly helping their neighbours,” Woodrow says.

Moose Jaw, with its long history as a railway centre, is still a major hub for CP, and the Holiday Train is an important contributor to the Moose Jaw and District Food Bank.

Last year’s Holiday Train stop netted a total of more than 4,500 pounds of food, as well as cash donations. Manager Terri Smith says that it really is

the thought that counts. “I get a lot of people coming in with one or two items and they say, ‘Sorry, I don’t have any more,’ but it’s one or two cans more than we had a couple of minutes ago. That’s a meal right there,” she said.

The attention the Holiday Train brings to the issue of hunger and the needs of food banks is almost as valuable as the money and food. “I can’t thank CP enough for them to be aware [of the issue]. In Canada, no kid should go hungry; no adult should go hungry, but they do,” Smith said.

The arrival of the Holiday Train is eagerly awaited by everyone, including the Food Bank staff, volunteers and clients. “It’s something we look forward to every year — bundling up and going down to the Holiday Train. It’s a sense of togetherness; a sense of teamwork, when everybody can get together and help your fellow neighbour or your fellow co-worker,” Smith said. “It’s nice to know that we have each other’s back.”

It’s the Christmas spirit and the Saskatchewan sense of community all wrapped up into a heartwarming bundle of Yuletide joy. Santa may have to trade in his reindeer and take the train!

Moose Jaw and area offers a wealth of winter activities for all ages, and not all of them require parkas and scarves.

Barb Fysh, recreation services manager for the City of Moose Jaw, says there are lots of things for residents and visitors to enjoy over the winter, and especially during the Christmas season. “We have all the facilities open for extended hours over the holiday season. This is especially nice for all the children who are out of school over the holidays,” she said, advising anyone interested to check out the hours and prices online at http://www.moosejaw.ca/?service=swimming.

FREE FAMILY FRIDAYS

An ongoing service that Moose Jaw Parks and Recreation offers is Free Family Fridays — swimming and skating times at no charge for the public. Free skating is available at the Wally Boshuck Arena every Friday during the ice season from 4:30 to 6:30 p.m., and free swimming is offered at the Kinsmen Sportsplex from 6 to 7:15 p.m. for families only, and from 7:30 to 9:15 p.m. for the entire public. Free teen swim is on Saturday‘s for ages 12 to 18, from 9:15 to 11 p.m.

First Night will be held on Dec. 31 from 7 p.m. to 12:30 a.m.

Tickets go on sale at the Kinsmen Sportsplex on Dec. 1 and will cost $30 for a family of four, and $5 for each additional family member until Dec. 23.

With all the events and activities taking place indoors and out at Moose Jaw’s numerous rinks and other facilities, the Friendly City pulls out all the stops for New Year’s Eve. Most bars and restaurants offer special events to mark the celebration, but nothing can compare to the fun of ringing in a new year with family and friends at the Moose Jaw Kinsmen Sportsplex during First Night activities. Family is what it’s all about, with door prizes and a host of activities. Not only will the rink be open for skating and the pool for swimming and water games, but there will also be Wii video, table games, billiards, air hockey and music, along with numerous other things to see and do. The concession stand will also be open for food and non-alcoholic beverages. The traditional midnight countdown will feature a huge balloon drop as everyone dons their New Year’s Eve hats and fires up their noisemakers.

The local celebrations and winter delights are not just for residents of Moose Jaw to enjoy. Fysh points out that families from surrounding communities have participated in the First Night event in past years, and she invites everyone to join in for this year’s 21st annual event. “It’s a whole lot of fun, and good for the whole family,” she says.

Seeing is not believing;

BELIEVING IS SEEING SARAH MOORE If you have ever had the pleasure of making Roger Dickson’s acquaintance, it is quite possible your childlike belief was awakened. We all have that shared moment as a child when we found out that the jolly old man in red was simply folklore, and the magic of belief was shaken.

In the presence of Roger Dickson, that loss of belief warrants a second thought.

In 2016, Yvette Moore was celebrating the 25th anniversary of the highly anticipated holiday event, Christmas in October. The occasion demanded something special to captivate the holiday magic that for so many years drove the event to continued popularity. The essence of Yvette’s success exists in her capacity to evoke a memory — with the stroke of a brush. For Yvette, the answer was simple: Santa Claus. The embodiment of belief, magic, and holiday spirit was the obvious choice. Lucky for Yvette, she happened to have him on call.

Years and years before, a family wedding two nights before Christmas introduced Roger to the Moore family. The uncanny resemblance of everyone’s favourite Christmas character did not go unnoticed and he was approached to find a red suit and delight guests with wonderment. Roger himself described this as the moment it all snowballed from there. Since that time, hardly a season has passed that Roger and his red suit has not been a part of the holidays for the Moore family and business.

For Yvette, her paintings are meant to capture a moment in time — immortalize a memory that provokes something in the minds and hearts of her audience. Roger and his red suit did just that for Yvette personally, and it seemed only fitting to share the joy it has brought her and her family.

Roger was called, and soon after — before the season even began — his red suit was on and he was to be the subject of Yvette’s new painting, “Checking it Twice.”

This is how Roger would describe the experience as an artistic subject. On several occasions, Roger was called in for Yvette to have a better look at his eyes, his hands, every hair in that

trademark beard. When Roger was called in to see the finished product, he explains his reaction as being hard to describe: “I get my picture taken all the time, but how many people get their picture painted? It is something that will be there for such a long time.”

The original piece has since been sold; and definitely not without its noticeable absence on the walls of Yvette Moore Gallery. Children and adults of all ages were drawn to this image, and the amazement that crossed their faces was hard to miss. It was almost as if you could hear their thoughts wonder, maybe, just maybe he really is real…

The popularity of the image has prompted different means to share the magic of this image.

Pillows, ornaments and notepads have made it possible to share in the splendor of this image for years and years to come. When asked what he thinks of the success of the image, Roger is astonished: “I’m just me.” But to everyone else, he is that wondrous part of Christmas that makes you believe in magic.

Host the holidays with homemade, gluten-free Holiday hosting is a big responsibility. Hosts must make their guests feel welcome and comfortable, which often involves finding space for out-of-towners to lay their heads, and cleaning the home to ensure no one is put off by the dust and dirt that can accumulate over time.

Hosting also involves feeding guests, and many hosts aim to provide the usual holiday treasure trove of baked goods for their friends and family. Baking can satisfy holiday sweet tooths, and the smell of baked goods can create that welcoming feeling hosts aim for. Some foods are synonymous with certain times of year, and fruitcake is one food that’s enjoyed almost exclusively during the holiday season. Fruitcake is sometimes an object of ridicule, but homemade fruitcake, such as the following recipe from Jeanne Sauvage’s Gluten-Free Baking For the Holidays (Chronicle Books), is sure to please those guests who are devoted to this holiday staple.

Fruitcake Serves 10 to 15

Macerated Fruit: 2 1/2 pounds raisins, pitted prunes, pitted dates, and dried figs, finely chopped 1/2 cup candied orange and/or lemon peel, finely chopped 1/3 cup candied or dried cherries, finely chopped 2/3 cup candied or preserved ginger, finely chopped Grated zest and juice of 1 large lemon Grated zest and juice of 1 large orange 1 tablespoon orange or tangerine marmalade 1 tablespoon apricot jam 1 cup applesauce 2 tablespoons brandy, sweet sherry or apple juice 1 cup unsalted butter, at room temperature, plus more for greasing 3 cups Jeanne’s Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour (see below) 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg 1 teaspoon ground allspice 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 cup packed dark brown sugar

fruitcake T U E S D A Y, O C T O B E R 1 1 , 2 0 1 6

1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract 4 extra-large eggs, at room temperature 2 tablespoons brandy, rum, whiskey, sweet sherry, or apple juice, or as needed The day before you bake the cake, prepare the macerated fruit. Place the raisins, prunes, dates, and figs in a large bowl.

Add the citrus peel, cherries, ginger, lemon zest and juice, and orange zest and juice.

Add the marmalade, jam, applesauce and brandy, and stir to combine. Cover the bowl and let stand overnight at room temperature so that the fruits soak up the liquid and the flavours meld. The mixture can macerate in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Preheat the oven to 325 F. If the fruit has been in the refrigerator, bring it to room temperature. Grease the bottom and sides of a 9 1/2- or 10-inch springform pan with butter. Line the bottom with three layers of parchment paper and the sides with one layer of parchment.

The batter will be very sticky.

In a medium bowl, mix together the flour, cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, allspice, and baking powder.

REGINA LEADER-POST

— Supplied photos In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the brown sugar and beat for 1 minute. Reduce the speed to low, add the vanilla, and beat until combined. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating after each addition. Then beat for 1 minute longer. Add the flour mixture and beat until just combined. Add the macerated fruit and, with a large wooden spoon, combine with the batter. This requires a bit of strength. Scrape the batter into the prepared pan.

Bake for 2 hours, then reduce the oven temperature to 300 F and bake until a toothpick inserted into the middle of the cake comes out clean, about 2 hours. If the cake browns too quickly, you might want to tent it with aluminum foil for the last 2 hours so it doesn’t burn.

Remove the cake from the oven and, while it is still hot, pierce it all over with a skewer. Pour the brandy over the top. Place the pan on a wire rack and let the cake cool completely.

Remove the sides from the pan and peel the parchment

paper from the sides and bottom of the cake. Wrap the cake in waxed paper and place it in an airtight container or wrap it in a few layers of plastic wrap. Leave the cake at room temperature for 3 to 5 days to allow the flavours to meld. If you used alcohol, you may store the cake in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Once the cake is sliced, store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week.

Jeanne’s Gluten-Free All-Purpose Flour Makes 4 1/2 cups 1 1/4 cups brown rice flour 1 1/4 cups white rice flour 1 cup sweet rice flour 1 cup tapioca flour Scant 2 teaspoons xanthan gum In a large bowl, whisk together the brown and white rice flours, sweet rice flour, tapioca flour, and xanthan gum thoroughly. Transfer the mix to an airtight container.

Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 weeks or in the refrigerator for up to 4 months. (MNS)

Holiday living made easy • Use plastic zip ties to attach garland and lights to bannisters.

They’re easy to assemble and will not damage the bannisters.

• Put a bath mat, rug-side down and rubber-side up, beneath your Christmas tree stand. This allows you to spin the tree as you hang lights and ornaments without damaging the floor underneath. It also makes it simple to undress the tree once the season is over. Use a tree skirt to hide the mat.

HALL HOTEL

Moose Jaw landmark hosts Huron Carole The stately Grant Hall Hotel was built in 1927 when local optimism knew no bounds. The property, famous for its sumptuous lobby, mezzanine and dining room, was named after an official of Canadian Pacific Railway who helped finance construction.

The Grant Hall Dining Room offers a unique, contemporary, and locally sourced fine dining experience. The Butler Lounge, nestled next to the dining room, offers an intimate and sophisticated atmosphere, with plush couches, stone tabletops and antique-inspired décor — all with an inventive array of seasonal cocktails and drink selections. Forty-two uniquely stamped hotel rooms provides desirable short- and long-term residence options.

The hotel has, over the years, hosted several notable celebrities, such as John Diefenbaker, Maurice ‘the Rocket’ Richard, Pierre Berton, Louis “Satchmo”

Armstrong, Roy Rogers, King George VI and the Queen Mother. Today, the Grant Hall still hosts notable guests, such as the Roughrider Alumni, and notable events, such as Tom Jackson’s Huron Carole.

On Sunday, Dec. 4 at Grant Hall, Tom Jackson will present the Huron Carole Gala, an evening of Christmas music, storytelling and holiday warmth.

The event will entertain while supporting those less fortunate — proceeds will support the Moose Jaw Food Bank. Since Tom Jackson launched Huron Carole in Toronto in 1987, more than $200 million in food, cash, and in-kind services has been raised in support of food banks, disaster relief and family service agencies across Canada.

Tips for first-time holiday dinner hosts Hosting a holiday meal for loved ones provides an exciting opportunity to bring family and friends together at this special time of year. First-time hosts may be a little nervous and put pressure on themselves to make the meal just right. But there are a few tricks of the trade novices can employ to calm their nerves and enjoy their first foray into holiday hosting.

• Go with what you know. Experimenting in the kitchen can be fun, but such experimentation should be avoided when hosting for the holidays. When planning the menu for your holiday dinner, choose a main course that you have prepared in the past. Familiarity can calm your nerves, and you’re less likely to forget key ingredients when preparing a meal you have made several times in the past. If you want to experiment a little, do so with desserts that you can prepare and test for taste several days in advance. If the desserts don’t pan out, you will still have a few days to find an alternative.

• Double check your pantry. Even if you’re making a meal you have made a dozen times in the past, peruse your pantry to make sure you have every ingredient you’re going to need. If you’re used to making the meal for four people but will now be making the meal for 12, make sure you have enough of each ingredient to make the larger meal. To make things easier, update your recipe to reflect the additional guests before going to the grocery store.

• Get a head start wherever possible. The day friends and family are coming to visit figures to be hectic, so once you have chosen the menu, look for items that can be prepared in advance of the big day. Desserts can often be made several days in advance, as can certain side dishes. Do as much prep work for the main course the night before the meal as possible. In addition to preparing the meal, hosts must also ready their homes so they can create a welcoming environment for their guests.

• Ask guests to bring nonessential items.

Guests will likely offer to bring something to the holiday dinner, and there’s nothing wrong with accepting help. But don’t ask guests to bring items that are essential to the meal, as that can delay the meal if guests are late. Instead, ask guests to bring a bottle of wine, a small dessert or even some snacks guests can eat while waiting for the main course.

• Ask about food allergies. While hosts don’t need to cater to every food allergy under the sun, ask each guest if there is any particular food or ingredient they absolutely must avoid. If enough guests must avoid a particular dish, you then know not to prepare it. In addition, have plenty of vegetables on hand for guests who are vegan or vegetarian.

Holiday hosting is fun, and first-time hosts can make it even more fun by employing a few veteran tricks of the trade. (MNS)

he Hammond Building on Main Street in Moose Jaw was built in 1910 and is one of the city’s historic landmarks.

The building still displays much of its antique glamour and insignia, and retains its handsome, historic finish. The main doors of the building are framed by antique rosettes and pillars, and the lobby displays chandeliers and more. Many successful businesses have resided in the Hammond Building over the years and it has become a shopping hot spot.

If you’re shopping for someone who has everything, Ellen’s on Main offers unique festive home décor, gifts and fresh flowers.

Dash Leather, a former business, left its insignia in the current Ellen’s on Main by signing the wall, dated in the 1950s.

Gingerbread Square and Cranberry Rose offer an array of elegant selections for those shopping for the women in their

lives. Players Collectibles is the authorized dealer for world-renowned companies like Moorcroft and Royal Doulton, and has many Royal Albert pieces still in stock. Rare crystal and glassware (both vintage and new) and a fine selection of jewelry make it a great place to find that treasured gift or antique.

Of course, shopping is hungry work. To satisfy your hunger, head over to Saigon 75 for excellent Vietnamese, Thai and Chinese cuisine.

The Hammond Building was originally designed to be six storeys, but the last two floors were never completed. The fourth floor was sealed with an ornate cornice and elaborate brickwork around the windows.

If you’re looking to mix some history with the excitement of the holiday season, be sure to visit the Hammond Building, 310 Main St.

A new tradition CAROL TODD The ancient Greeks doubtless were not thinking of Christmas trees when they said that a society grows great when old men plant trees whose shade they know they shall never sit in. But, in Moose Jaw, the people of the community are getting together to plant a tree that will not only provide shade for generations to come, but will also help everyone enjoy the holiday season.

Last year, Christmas in October founder Yvette Moore lit up interest in decorating the large tree in front of the Lieutenant Colonel D.V. Currie VC Armoury on north Main St. “We wanted to create a really festive presentation to go along with what the shopkeepers were doing with their stores, making it look like a great Christmas in October festival,” says Deb Thorn, who took off her hat as Moose Jaw’s economic development officer to help.

Moore, Thorn, her husband, Jim, and others from the community joined in to use the lift donated by United Rentals to install the 6,000 lights that were donated by Moore. “It’s a huge tree — it’s got to be at least 40 feet tall. A job that I thought would take two hours took two days,” says Thorn.

This year, Thorn says they plan to take it one step farther and plant a live tree downtown near the old train station at the foot of Main St. “Years ago, CPR used to bring a tree to Moose Jaw every year and they would set it up in front of their station. People really enjoyed that tradition,” she says.

The new tradition will feature a living tree that can be enjoyed year-round and be adorned to

help celebrate the holiday season. As an added benefit, it will stand only a block from where the CP Holiday Train will stop on Dec. 5.

The organizers are hoping the community will pitch in to help the project by donating the 10,000 lights Thorn expects the new tree will need. Many have already pitched in to get the project going, with Civic Centre Plaza (a new development in the city) donating the tree and the

tree mover, and United Rentals once again donating the lift. The City of Moose Jaw has offered a planting site that is close to where the old traditional tree was located.

“It’s just an idea that people can all contribute to make our town more beautiful and more festive and more fun,” says Thorn. No doubt those ancient Greeks would approve.

The tree in front of the Lieutenant Colonel D.V. Currie VC Armoury celebrates the 2015 holiday season.

The city sidewalks are busy sidewalks, all dressed in holiday gear, as Moose Jaw dons its festive apparel in advance of the holiday season.

It’s a special time of year, as children and adults alike turn their thoughts to all the various delights of the holidays. And the Friendly City gets a head start on the season with its famous Christmas in October.

Everyone pitches in, with activities and events, indoor and out, throughout the city.

Moose Jaw’s historic downtown is the hub of the city and one of the biggest draws of the season, with its stores all decked out in festive lights and trimming. “One of our gems is our downtown,” said Deb Thorn, economic development officer for the City of Moose Jaw. Christmas in October is definitely one of the city’s major attractions.

“There is nothing finer than people visiting Moose Jaw, having fun and enjoying a unique experience. It’s good for the city and keeps the

tills ringing,” she says.

Many downtown business offer specials and sales during Christmas in October and throughout the holiday season says Liz Craigen, owner of Cranberry Rose and a long-time supporter of the yearly event. “Most stores are open for extra hours and many offer refreshments and store specials, as well as the decorating,” she says.

The Cranberry Rose fashions will take to the runway on Nov. 25, as the Hillcrest Apostolic Church holds a charity fashion show, Christmas in our Hearts and Homes. All ladies are invited to attend an evening of inspiring ideas, Christmas music and delicious delectables. In addition to the fashions, there will be several presentations including easy, thought-provoking ways to prepare your family for the Christmas season

by Children’s Pastor Laura Stacheruk, Christmas food ideas by CJ Katz, host of CTV’s Wheatland Café and music by singer/songwriter Camille Parkman. The event begins at 7 p.m. Tickets are $12 and are available

at the church office or by calling 306-692-5600, or Sharon at 306-631-8238.

Christmas in October draws visitors from across the Prairies and into the United States to downtown Moose Jaw, with some people booking months ahead. And, they come for more than the shopping, Thorn says. “It’s an attraction in itself, to come here [for Christmas in October].

This is about having fun,” she says. Among the many entertainment opportunities are those offered at the Moose Jaw Cultural Centre or the Mosaic Place multiplex. And, the fun carries on throughout the holiday season with craft shows and other events, all culminating in the First Night Celebration at the Kinsmen Sportsplex.

Kicking off with Christmas in October, and carrying on throughout the holiday season, Moose Jaw, with its historic downtown and numerous shopping and entertainment possibilities, definitely has that feeling of Christmas in the air.

Small businesses are the economic backbone of many communities, including the Friendly City of Moose Jaw, and like most everyone else there, they are poised to celebrate the holiday season.

Rob Clark, the CEO of the Moose Jaw and District Chamber of Commerce, says Chamber members are proud supporters of the various Christmas and holiday events and attractions the city has become known for. “We’re going to support everything our downtown does,” he says, pointing to the annual Christmas in October and other events held downtown as well as throughout the city.

“It’s a big draw,” he says of Christmas in October.

“The word is out there, and I think a lot of people actually put it on their calendar,” he says, while donning his weatherman’s hat. “It will be warm and sunny with all the lights and sounds of Christmas,

so you’ll be able to walk the streets and enjoy,” he says.

The October event is, of course, only one of the many attractions Moose Jaw has to offer, and Clark says that increasing numbers of people are visiting the city, whether they come for the day from areas close by or are part of bus trips from farther away. “There really is a uniqueness about it. I can’t really put my finger on it, but Moose Jaw is really unique and the downtown, with all the shops and everything, really adds to that, as well as our other businesses that aren’t located downtown,” he says. To encourage and inform visitors, Clark says the Chamber is putting together a pamphlet. “We’re in the process of putting together a pamphlet for everyone who comes to Moose Jaw that tells everything involved in the downtown shopping,” he says.

Moose Jaw’s small business will also have the opportunity to celebrate the holidays and show their appreciation to their employees at the Chamber’s Small Business Christmas Party. The Chamber is partnering with the Heritage Inn to put on the event, scheduled for Sat., Dec. 3. It begins with cocktails and appetizers at 6 p.m., followed by dinner at 7 p.m., and then a dance. Past events have sold out early, so businesses are encouraged to book early. “It’s a chance to generate some excitement and say thank you to the staff,” Clark says of the dinner.

Regardless of whether you live in Moose Jaw or are visiting, there’s lots to see and do during the holiday season and beyond in the Friendly City.

Christmas tree retailers in Moose Jaw There are many locations at which to purchase fresh Christmas trees in Moose Jaw. Pick up a bushy, fragrant tree at any of the following locations: • Keon Garden Centre, 1645 Stadacona St. W. • Canadian Tire, 1350 Main St. N. • The Real Canadian Superstore, 30 Thatcher Drive E. • Kiwanis Club of Moose Jaw sells trees on the northeast corner of the Moose Jaw Co-op parking lot, 500 First Ave. NW.

A recent report states that more than 90 per cent of long-distance Christmas holiday travel is by personal vehicle. While many people may associate travel at this time of year with long lines at airport check-in counters and security checkpoints, the study notes that just five to six per cent of holiday trips are taken by air. The remaining two to three per cent are taken by bus, train, ship, or another mode of transportation.

Children of all ages, and the child that lives within each adult, look forward to the holiday season with its distinctive sights and sounds. And, one of the main attractions is, of course, the arrival of that jolly old elf, Santa Claus himself.

While the rest of the world has to wait until December, the holiday season begins early in Moose Jaw with its now-famous Christmas in October. The yearly event kicks off all the fun and excitement of the season, with attractions downtown and throughout the city offers lots of things to see and do. Much of the activity centres on the downtown, with its array of shops, restaurants, accommodations, spas and entertainment all decked out in holiday style.

Among the highpoints of the season are the festive, colourful lights that bedeck the city, especially downtown and along the route of the Santa Claus parade.

The parade route ends at Fifth Avenue Collection, where the outside light displays rival the bling inside.

The end of the route is also where Santa begins his visit, to the delight of all. “The highlight is when Santa stops here at the end of the parade. The children are real excited and happy,” says Betty Butler, who describes herself as “one of the gang” at Fifth Avenue Collection. She says the company, which celebrated its 25th anni-

versary in 2013, has been doing the spectacular light displays for at least that long. “There is always something new,” she says of the extravagant displays.

For the children of Moose Jaw, the end of the parade is just the beginning of their holiday fun and the adults can enjoy the shining displays both inside and out.

holiday trip for the Christmas/ New Year’s holiday is 275 miles, which is slightly longer than the average long-distance trip during the rest of the year, indicating that many travellers are willing to travel farther for the holiday season than they might be during the rest of the year. In addition, when travelling long distances for the Christmas/New Year’s holiday, travellers spend roughly four nights away from home on average. (MNS)

This is a very busy time for Santa but The Moose Jaw Amateur Radio Club has made arrangements to have him available via Shortwave Radio. Take this opportunity to speak with Santa directly from his workshop at the North Pole. Isn’t it best if he hears from you that you have been good all year?

Santa may be working up at the North Pole but Mrs. Claus will be at the Museum to have a visit with everyone while they enjoy their breakfast. Tickets are $5 per person (children 3 and under are free) and are available at the Western Development Museum – Moose Jaw or from the Girl Guides. If you have a sweet tooth but not enough time to bake, stop by and visit the Girl Guides Christmas Bake Sale.

Giving the gift that gives back There are many reasons to support burrowing owls — they contribute to a healthy ecosystem, they have been declared an endangered species, and on top of that, they’re adorable!

Populations of these little ground-dwelling birds have been declining since the 1980s.

Since 1987, the population has declined by 96 per cent. They were officially declared an endangered species in 1995.

The 2014 census numbers show a 43 per cent increase in the Burrowing Owl numbers with 30 pairs of owls being reported in Saskatchewan (Operation Burrowing Owl, Nature Saskatchewan).

There are numerous factors that affect the Burrowing Owl population: habitat loss and/ or change, pesticide use, which can lead to a decrease in prey sources, a decrease in the animals that provide burrows, human contact, and mortalities during migration and while at their U.S. winter grounds.

The Saskatchewan Burrowing Owl Interpretive Centre (SBOIC) in Moose Jaw promotes conservation of the owl and its native prairie habitat through education, stewardship and eco-tourism. In-house tours and the Owls on Tour program give groups and individuals the opportunity to meet one of the centre’s ambassador owls and learn more about them and their needs. This can lead to a greater understanding of how everyone can play a role in the conservation of this endangered species.

The cost of maintaining owls

in captivity adds up quickly, though. Food alone costs about $300 per owl per year.

To help maintain the centre, its programs, and the owls’ care, SBOIC has established an adoption program.

Adoption prices vary depending upon the length of time.

A six-month adoption period is available for $50; a year is $100, and $175 buys a two-year adoption.

The adoption package includes: • a certificate with details about your adopted owl, including a picture, as well as an additional photo ready for framing.

• a fact sheet on burrowing owls, and two postcards.

One- and two-year adoption packages also include either a stuffed plush burrowing owl toy or a SBOIC lapel pin.

If requested, the centre will send the adoption package, including a personalized letter, as a gift to the recipient.

To arrange for an adoption, or to learn more about the program, visit www.skburrowingowl.ca.

Money raised through the adoption program helps the centre care for the birds it raises, helping maintain the population. One hundred per cent of the funds raised through the Adopt an Owl program goes toward their upkeep, and contributions are all tax deductible.

A gift of a Burrowing Owl adoption from the SBOIC will not only delight the recipient, it will have a much wider impact.

Centre Owl Coordinator Lori

Johnson says that helping Burrowing Owls benefits us all. “They are a very significant factor in a healthy ecosystem,” she said. “So by protecting them, we are actually protecting not just the owls, but the ecosystem they live in and the other animals that depend on that eco-system, including we humans.”

The program is very popular, especially around the holiday season, said Johnson. “It’s particularly successful for us around Christmastime, though it is a year-round program,” she said.

One of the great joys of Christmas is that it provides an opportunity to give. When the choice of gift also means that the recipient contributes to a worthwhile cause, the gratification is multiplied.

ADOPT-AN-OWL makes a great Christmas gift!

The Saskatchewan Burrowing Owl Interpretive Centre (SBOIC), along with the support of Husky Energy, is once again offering a special Adopt-an-Owl package for the holiday season. For your donation you will receive a 2017 Burrowing Owl Calendar, a certificate with a picture of your owl, an additional photograph ready for framing, fact sheet and postcard. With a donation of $100 or more, you will also receive a special gift! Most importantly you will enable us to provide top of the line care for your special owl.

$50/6 months

Prodigal Son Returns in

A Briercrest Christmas — Supplied photo

MICHAEL KING The parable of the prodigal son takes on a maritime flare as Alan Shaw, the son of a wealthy Nova Scotia sea captain, defies his father and squanders his fortune in A Briercrest Christmas presents A Christmas Prodigal, an original dramatic musical at Briercrest College and Seminary.

The festivities take place Dec. 2 to 4 in Briercrest College’s historic Hildebrand Chapel as the story unfolds of how Alan finds forgiveness and redemption in his father’s house, reflecting the true meaning of Christmas and the power of a father’s love.

Captain Shaw’s great annual Christmas party is in full swing as the curtain opens.

Although endowed with a captaincy and

a ship from his father, Alan Shaw has become disenchanted with the family business. Determined to pursue a life of selfish ambition, he flees the family home.

Following disaster after disaster, Alan finds himself penniless and forlorn on the docks of Halifax. With nowhere to turn, the memories of home beckon him to return to the embrace of a loving father.

“The parable of the prodigal son really emphasizes the gift of redemption that has been offered to all of us, which is really what the Christmas season is all about,” says artistic director Ron de Jager. “The production tells a fun, family-friendly story that reminds us all that Christmas is a season of joy, forgiveness, and salvation.”

With a mass choir, orchestra, and full cast of more than 100 performers, de Jager

describes the production as one of the largest and most spectacular Christmas productions in Saskatchewan. The performance includes classic Christmas carols along with traditional maritime hymns and songs, creating a truly unique experience – a taste of maritime Christmas, right here in Saskatchewan!

In addition to the musical, A Briercrest Christmas will also host a Christmas craft sale and turkey dinner. The craft sale runs each day of the performances, featuring booths from local artists and craftspeople, which allows musical attendees to complete their Christmas shopping with beautifully unique gifts. The turkey dinner will run before each evening performance; seating is limited for the dinner, so be sure to get your tickets today!

A Christmas Prodigal will be presented Dec. 2 and 3 at 7 p.m., and Dec. 3 and 4 at 2:30 p.m. Turkey Dinners will be Dec. 2 and 3 at 4:30 p.m. Tickets for the performances are $18 for adults; $12 for children; $50 for a family of two adults and two children. Tickets for the performances and turkey dinner are $42 for adults and $35 for children. To purchase your tickets, call 1-888-462-2202 or visit www.Briercrest.ca/Christmas.
