Grand Opening of Yellow Grass Community Rink. 1948. University of Saskatchewan Library Special Collections, Poster Collection.
I found this awesome poster thanks to something my friend Kim said on her blog, and I think it's a pretty cool because Yellow Grass is my hometown.
Note the speakers: Hon T. C. Douglas, Premier of Sask., Father Athol Murray of Notre Dame College... Amazing! We don't have grand openings like that anymore. I wonder if my grandparents attended this event. (Note to self: Ask grandmothers if they remember it.)
The web page above appears to stem from the Saskatchewan Council for Archives and Archivists website, but I couldn't find the specific page that links to it. Anyway, this site looks interesting, especially the virtual exhibits page.
(I really wanted to display the poster image here, but questioned the copyright.)

Today I'm thankful for:
- clean drinking water
- reliable vehicles
- archivists (and the archives they maintain)
