Prairie towns offer summer fun!
By Joan Janzen
The past few weeks have been hot! However, there’s an abundance of small towns on the prairies that offer fun ways for people to cool down.
On a hot afternoon in Leader, families enjoyed the water slide and a cool dip in the town’s outdoor pool. After they dried off, they could venture over to the newly opened ice cream shop and choose from a large selection of ice cream treats.
Another cool place to visit is the Leader Library. There, kids can join the Summer Reading Club, which runs until the end of August. It may be hot outside, but small towns on the prairies offer plenty of cool things to do.
“Will that be one scoop of sprinkles or two?” Of course, this youngster opted for two scoops as he held on to his milkshake from Sassy Scoops Ice Cream Shoppe in Leader.
A dive into Leader’s outdoor pool is a great way to cool off on a hot day.
