Kindersley promoted at Saskatchewan Oil & Gas Show

By Joan Janzen

The Kindersley Chamber of Commerce and the Town of Kindersley shared a booth at the Saskatchewan Oil & Gas Show in Weyburn on June 5th and 6th. They were promoting Kindersley and area to the visitors who came to the show.

“Kindersley is an awesome place to live, play and work!” Kevin Martin, the Chamber’s Executive Director, said.

Wednesday turned out to be super windy and somewhat of a challenge for the twenty or so businesses that had outdoor displays. Fortunately Kevin Martin, Mayor Rod Perkins and Gary Becker were indoors where they greeted people at their booth.

Kevin estimated that between three and four thousand people attended the show, which takes place every two years. Premier Scott Moe and Jeremy Cockrill, Minister of Education, were two prominent guests in attendance.

The Chamber had a 40-page attraction portfolio, which was distributed to some businesses. Meanwhile everyone was handing out pens and various items and inviting people to enter a number of draws.

In addition to the representation from the oil and gas sector, a college and Hub International were also included in the 200 booths. The exchange of business cards and the numerous valuable connections made throughout the two-day event, signify a promising future for our community.
