Hi, dear reader! Maygen aka “Sneaks” here. Every Thursday morning, I make a list of things to do in Saskatoon with an emphasis on low or no cost events. I volunteer to make these weekly guides. Your engagement on my social platforms, especially your interaction on my paid posts, is how my small business thrives. Find this list useful? Quickly go see & like my pinned posts (on Instagram OR tiktok OR on Facebook). And ooh if you’ve got a minute, I’d love your 5 star review on Google: https://g.page/r/Ceb8XSqjBBapEBM/review TIA!

p.s. The hours I put into these weekend lists are 100% volunteer & “Influencer” is my job— your follows, likes, comments, and shares on my social media when I advertise events, businesses, and favourite items are the free ways you can support my small business. Make me happy and go give my pinned posts each a like :)
