Mr. Mike’s Martensville
is hoping for a midSeptember opening. The
whole exterior of the
building will be redone
to match Mr. Mikes. This
means there will be a
noticeable separation from
Head Start Hair Salon and
Best Ways Convenience
store, both of which will
be updated to match.
Workers are currently busy
putting walls up inside to
complete the renovation,
as well as working on the
outside patio.
Mr. Mikes will begin
the hiring process late
July. People can email or
drop off resumes at the
Saskatoon location. There
will also be a job fair to
assist in the hiring process.

The Buster Days Committee
officially wrapped up the
annual event by presenting
donations to various service
groups and organizations
in Martensville last week.
An incredible donation
of $10,000 was donated
to
the
Martensville
Community
Recreation
Project Tuesday, June
21st, along with a total
of $9600 being donated
in various amounts to;
Martensville High School
Scholarship,
Slo-Pitch,
the Martensville Library,
Skate Martensville, Soccer
Association, Martensville
Curling Club, Sask Five
Giants,
Martensville
Information & Visitor
Centre, Martensville Girl
Guides, Alliance Church,
New Horizon’s Senior
Centre, Mission Church,
Neighborhood
Church,
Project
Change
and
Voyage Club. All groups
that received donations
volunteered throughout the
Buster Days weekend to
receive the money.
Martensville Buster Days
was held June 3rd to June
5th, and was a great success
despite the blustery wind.
This year, the Committee
was excited to bring in
some new attractions/
highlights for the weekend
event including sky writing,
a one man band, a petting
zoo and more. Due to the
extreme and unpredictable
wind, the sky divers were
forced to cancel at the
last minute. The addition
of more food trucks was
a huge hit, along with the
Family Night Out, with
a Nerf Gun Fight at the
MAP. This year was also
the biggest Market & Craft
Fair that has been held to
date. “The event was a great
success, despite the wind.
We had great attendance
and people were still able
to take everything in,”
Angie Reddekopp, City
of Martensville recreation
Program Supervisor, explained.
Currently, the Buster Days
Committee is looking at
bringing in a new main attraction
other than Flyboarding for next
year, and encourages anyone
with ideas to contact them.
“When it comes to community
events like this, input from the
people in the community is
vital. We will also bring back
all of the great entertainment
that everyone enjoys from year
to year,” Reddekopp added.
With Buster Days being one of
the biggest community events
held in Martensville throughout
the year, it is important to ensure
the community is involved as
much as possible. The success
from the event is dependent on
sponsorship and through event
revenue. “We definitely need the
community on board in order to
make this event happen,” stated
Reddekopp. The Buster Days
Committee, which currently
consists of 14 people, is always
looking for more people to join
and contribute their ideas to
the popular event. If you are
interested in joining, or looking
for more information, contact
Joanna at (306) 683-5575, or
[email protected].
The Committee would like to
give a special thank you to all of
