unique Eastend setting; Preserving the Rural Past (and Post) -- Despite the disappearance of grain elevators, rail lines and country schools, rural post offices persist as a place of gathering, sharing information and keeping a small town together; Mushrooms in the Wild -- Wild mushrooms are the basis of big business in northern Saskatchewan. It is not, however, a business for those who lack caution or a willingness to work hard. Mushrooms in profitable quantities may be easy to find, but if you get the
