Taste Of Saskatchewan

Monday, July 21st, 2008

I have to admit that Taste of Saskatchewan is one of my most favorite events of the summer…well, of the entire year! I enjoyed it a total of 6 times this year. I moved back to Saskatoon several years ago and any time I have new clients who move to Saskatoon I always like to tell them about TOS. It is one of the best events and there are always great bands, great people watching, and great food put on of course by Conexus Credit Union, and as I work for Century 21 Conexus in Saskatoon, I figured I should make sure to support it as much as possible. There were 30 restaurants from Saskatoon that took part in the event. One of my new favorites, Cactus Joes, had incredibly tasty sweet potato fries. Taste of Saskatchewan gives everyone in Saskatoon the ability to sample at many of our tones of restaurants and is a great time for people who are new to our beautiful city to check out great places to eat and enjoy live entertainment, to sit with strangers and enjoy the food and hopefully some conversation with some of our friendly Saskatoonians.

Earth Hour 2008 – Did You Remember?

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Last night, people around the world made a statement by turning off all of their lights in their home for 1 full hour between 8pm and 9pm. Major cities across the world participated including smaller cities like Saskatoon.  Check out this YouTube video of Toronto celebrating Earth Hour 2008.

The city of Saskatoon stated they were going to participate in Earth Hour.  I am unaware if they actually did or not as I stayed in my own home, having a dinner by candlelight. I know other organizations like Innovation Place urged their tenants to participate and shut down their office lights during this time.  As I mentioned I stayed home during Earth Hour but was curious on how many people in my area would participate.  At around 7:55 I was very happy to see other Saskatoon home owners in my neighborhood start turning off the lights in their home.  On my street alone I counted at least 10 people shutting off their lights at around 8:00pm.  It was easy to see quite a few people with candles glowing in their homes.  It is great to see Saskatoon as a community take part in such a strong statement. Feel free to comment and share on your Earth Hour experience!

Saskatoon Home Owners – Earth Hour 2008

Wednesday, March 26th, 2008

Earth Hour is a global event organized by the World Wildlife Federation.  On March 29th at 8pm until 9pm millions of people around the world will do one very simple thing which will deliver a powerful and symbolic message about the need to address global warming.  Starting at 8pm on the 29th people around the world will turn off their lights in their home and businesses for 1 hour.  This includes things like televisions, computers, etc.  I think this is an amazing idea and it unites everyone in the world that believes that global warming is a real threat that needs to be addressed.  I encourage all Saskatoon home owners and everyone else in Saskatoon and the surrounding areas to take part in this event.  This is an amazing opportunity to contribute to the overall success of an important message.  Be sure to tell friends and family of this event.  Some people may think what can I possibly do for an hour without the lights on?  As for myself I plan on spending the night with a few friends and lighting a few candles and just enjoy some quality time with them.  Be sure to spread the word around about Earth Hour and do your part as a Saskatoon home owner and turn your lights off on March 29th from 8pm to 9pm.  Be sure to check out the video at You Tube!

Monday, March 24th, 2008

Trade show season is starting to heat up in the city of Saskatoon.  The Saskatoon home and garden show was only a few weeks ago and was a huge success.  This coming up weekend which is an excellent complimentry trade show to the home show is Saskatoon GardenScape 2008.  This show is the third largest of its kind in Canada and will be held at Prairie Land Park.  The main purpose of the show is to provide information for those people who are interested in horticulture and outdoor living. There is tons of information and booths showing people everything from sprucing up your yard to the latest in gardening.

Landscaping and the general overall exterior and interior appearance of your home is extremely important when looking to sell your home in the Saskatoon real estate market.  Because the Saskatoon real estate market is currently so busy it is important that you make the best first impression with your home to potential buyers.  Buyers don’t have the luxury of visiting the properties several times and getting to know it better.  As a seller you want to have as much interest in your property as possible so by doing some landscaping or decorating the appeal of your home will increase.  You can visit my website for ideas and tips on home renovations to increase the value of your home as well.  If you are interested in selling your home in the Saskatoon or surrounding area real estate market I would be delighted to speak with you.  I can provide you in depth information on what to realistically expect for your home as well provide you some easy and simple tips and tricks to increase the value of your home and attract more interest.  For all of your Saskatoon real estate selling needs be sure to contact me!

Saskatoon 2008 HomeStyles Homeshow Review

Sunday, March 16th, 2008

I am happy to say that this years Saskatoon & Region Home Builders’ Association 2008 HomeStyles Homeshow was a great follow up to last years.  I attended the show on Saturday in the mid-afternoon and at that time the parking lot was near capacity and the home show itself was bustling with activity.  I was happy to see a good mixture of returning exhibitors and new ones.  I was able to listen to Jim Caruk who was a guest speaker and is the host of the television show, Real Renos on HGTV.  For myself I am always interested in seeing some of the new building materials including flooring, fixtures, bathrooms, cabinets, countertops, etc.  You can get some great renovation ideas for your Saskatoon home by attending these booths and asking questions.  I found everyone to be extremely friendly and helpful.  I am very interested in hearing your thoughts of this years home show and anyways that you think they could have improved it.

Wednesday, March 5th, 2008

On Thursday March 13th, 2008 until Sunday Mach 16th, 2008 the Saskatoon & Region Home Builders’ Association will be presenting the 2008 Saskatoon HomeStyles Homeshow.  Personally I attended the 2007 Home Show and can say that for anyone that has an interest in homes, Saskatoon real estate, construction or even the latest products to maintain your home this show is a must attend event.  In 2007 there were approximately 35,000 people that attended the show.  This year there is a great line of up of guest speakers along with a good combination of new exhibitors and repeat ones from 2007.  The show should be a great success so I encourage you to go out and visit it.  If you are thinking about buying or selling a home in Saskatoon or the surrounding area this show may give you some great ideas on how to spruce up your current or future home!
