May 12, 2002 Dear Friend, Did you know
Saskatchewan is a great place for horseback
riding? It is a great place because of the long
flat land. You can ask your horse to gallop and
feel the warm wind cut through your hair and the
smooth soothing gallops and canters. You can
enter in competitions and race against other
riders. I love horses and horseback riding
because I can go as fast as the wind. Sincerely,
Meg

Apr.26,2001 Dear Pal, Did you know that lots of
grain elevators are being knocked down?
Saskatchewan is a great place for grain
elevators, because there is lots of wheat. In
Saskatchewan there are also lots of farms. Those
farms bring wheat to the grain elevators. We need
grain elevators to store wheat. Sincerely, Writer

July 26, 2002 Dear Pal, Have you ever driven a
dirt bike? If you haven't you should try it. Lots
of people in Saskatchewan have one. Its lots of
fun. You can hear the loud sound of the engine.
The only bad parts are its very bumpy and you
crash easily. It is fun going off ramps and
racing with your friends. Sincerely, J.R. W.

April 26, 2002 Dear Friend, It
is great living on the prairie. Many people in
Saskatchewan love to play baseball because of how
fast and how much fun it is. My dream is to play
professional baseball for the New York Yankees.
My favorite position is short stop. I hope you
like baseball too. Sincerely, Phil

June 17, 2002 Dear Friend,
Lately Ive been going on hikes in the valleys
and seeing many kinds of wild life. The most
common of these are Canada geese and prairie
moose. It is fascinating watching these animals
on the open prairie. There are many lakes where
you can see the silvery fish gliding through the
clear blue water. The flowers and the wheat sway
on windy days. I wish you could visit me in
Saskatchewan. Your friend,
Aivlys Salgoud

May 26, 2002 Dear Friend, Did
you know lots of kids in Saskatchewan like to
draw cartoons? Some people are good at drawing
and some people are not. It is usually sunny in
Saskatchewan and there are lots of farms with
cows on them. Those farms probably dont have
cartoon cows on them. There aren't any cartoon
birds either, but there are lots of real birds.
Its really fun drawing cartoons. Sincerely,
Hummer

love quadding and I think you would too.
Sincerely, G. Baby

April 26, 2002 Dear Friend, Did
you know that Saskatchewan has a lot of tractors?
I like to ride on them. I also like to cut the
crops and look for animals. I like to look at the
back of the tractor and look at the birds. It is
fun to ride on tractors. Sincerely, W.D.

April 26, 2002 Dear Bud, Do you know how many
people like boating? About 5,000 people Im
sure. My friend and I like boating. I like knee
boarding too. Its my favorite sport I bet youd
like them both. Sincerely,
Spit-fire

April26,2002 Dear Pal, Did you know that
the beaver is on the Canadian nickel? Beavers can
be seen almost anywhere in Saskatchewan, as long
as theres water and trees nearby. Beavers have
two large teeth for chopping down trees.
Beavers are good swimmers and have flat tails
which they use as a tool for packing mud on their
homes to make the trees stick. Hope you see a
beaver sometime. Sincerely, Duane Notlock

April 26, 2002 Dear Pal,
It is really nice when we go driving our odyssey
in our field behind our house. An odyssey is like
a quad except you can lean back. Kids can drive
it. We go along the dirt road until we get to a
valley. We watch people golf and then on the way
home we go through the mud and puddles. It feels
great when the wind blows your hair. I think you
should try odysseying. Sincerely, Big Papo

May 26, 2002 Dear Friend,
Saskatchewan is an awesome place to ride a horse.
You can go almost everywhere, up in the hills,
through the trees, on the field, and down in the
valley. When you gallop along if you close your
eyes it feel like youre flying. The summer
breeze keeps you cool when you ride across the
field. I love riding horses and I think you will
too. Your friend,
Rebma Sitruc

April 26,2002 Dear Pal,
Did you know that in Saskatchewan driving a quad
is a very popular outdoor activity for hot days?
A quad has four wheels like a tiny tractor.
There are lots of hills to go quadding on, in
Saskatchewan. I go for rides around the prairie
with my friend. We soar over lots of ramps and
land on our back wheels. In Saskatchewan we have
better quads, because we use them more.
Sincerely, Wonka

January 8th,2002 Dear Buddy, Saskatchewan is a
great place to do winter sports like hockey and
snowboarding, but my favorite is dog sledding
because its different from other winter sports(
although I like hockey and snowboarding). It
includes animals and it can be more than a month
long. In Saskatchewan you dont need huskies to
go dog sledding you can use any breed of dog
because its not as cold here as in places like
the Yukon. You can also make your own dogsled out
of a normal sled and strong string. If you come
to Saskatchewan you can try it too. Bye for now.
Sincerely, B.J

July 12, 2001 Dear Pal, Saskatchewan is
famous for its sunsets. I remember the time I was
camping on the green grassy hills. The camp fire
was was glowing. The sun was setting on the west
side of the hills. Two robins were soaring
through the air. I hope you can come camping with
me some time.
Your friend, Little Cuddy

Apr.26, 2002 Dear Pal, Did
you know that in Saskatchewan, if you take your
dog for a walk you will likely see a deer? It is
fun to play with your dog too. You might even see
an owl or a gopher. I hope you come to
Saskatchewan soon. Sincerely , M.J.K.

July 10,2001 Dear Buddy,
Do you like skateboarding? I love skateboarding
with the wind in my hair and I can get to my
friends houses really fast. There is so much
space to skateboard. You could build ramps to
practice on. Oh and did I tell you I went to a
competition and won gold? It is so much fun you
should try it. Sincerely, Moses

August 6, 2001 Dear Friend, Did you know that
Saskatchewan has over 30 types of owls? Owls are
unpredictable and curious. Only some people
understand them and to others theyre a mystery.
Owls are nocturnal animals which means they sleep
all day and hunt all night. Owls help the world
by eating insects because insects could take over
the world. I love to watch owls because they are
so funny. They turn their heads upside down,
they waddle across dead grass, and they have a
staring contest with you. You should really come
to Saskatchewan to see our owls. Sincerely, D.J.
