Last night, while watching yet another unfortunate contestant of “Wipeout” bounce themselves off one of the bouncy, red “Big Balls”, I realized that laughter is indeed good medicine!  If you are seeking more of this good medicine, there is some great comedy coming your way!

The Great Plains Comedy Festival is in its 8th year and is running from June 15 – 21.  Opening ceremonies are at 6:00pm at Beily's (8th Street) with a meet and greet with business and community leaders and the festival comedians. The show will feature ten festival comedians performing CLEAN material.

Alrighty Saskatoon, are you looking for something fun AND different to do this June?  There’s always something fun to do around town, especially in these summer months. 

Kicking off the month, is Fleetwood Mac, who are blasting into Saskatoon today, on their “Unleashed 2009” tour.  If you hurry, you MAY be able to grab a last minute ticket. 

Beginning on June 10 is La Boheme, the popular Opera – debuting at the brand new Persephone Theatre.  I’m happy to have snapped up some great tickets for a matinee showing on June 14th.  (Blog to follow!)

Want to be more environmentally friendly? Love fair trade and items made out of recyclables? Is your house filled with things that have a homemade, cozy feeling to them? Head on over to The Better Good on Broadway, right by Lydia's Pub.

I stumbled upon this place during lunchtime while out taking pictures for Jazz Fest. Since I've walked past it before and noticed the fair-trade and eco-friendly items, I decided to go in and have a look. This store is awesome! It has so many cleaver, cute, and useful items that make you feel more earthy and generally give you a good feeling!

Check out their blog for a little bit more about them and their products:

They've got kitchen utensils and plates made out of bamboo to bedding, and children's toys. Adult and Youth sized clothing and shoes. Handmade decor and bags. Lotions, soaps, candles, jewelry and household cleaning products. Fair trade coffees, teas, chocolates and more!

This little store belongs on Broadway. If you are a fan of places like Ten Thousand Villages, Steep Hill Food Co-op (on Broadway) and AlterNations, give these guys a try!
