I’m going to the next meeting of the Delisle town council with a proposal.

Either I am dumb, can’t get the point or you linked to the wrong spot…
Sorry, I short sheeted the link! Fixed now.
Thanks. Cool idea :-).
But not something I’d want for Sedro-Woolley (my “hometown” – 3 miles N of city limits).
I hope you get it. Your town may have lots of competition. Is there only 1 “winner”?
And I hope tonight there are clear skies in Sask for the Beaver Moon
True story about my Dishes…the 1st dish I ever installed on my house in Southern BC, I pointed it high in the sky towards the southeast.
But last year about this time, I was in the Yukon and near the Arctic Circle. I borrowed the installer’s equipment…he lived 3 hours down the highway and couldn’t come, for the same reason that I wanted the dish (finals and the cup)…he ran a bar and hotel and was too busy. He said he the satellite was just 4 points off the horizon and to not think it weird if my dish was pointing right down at the ground.
As I drove south this summer, I watched dishes rise to the sky.
Its not that bad of an idea. If the City of Saskatoon can name a AIRPORT after the man who cancelled the greatest Canadian airplane ever built (the Arrow). Why not change the name to Beer, makes a hell of alot more sense.
I think that could work for Spruce Grove & Stony Plain (AB); Bud (S.G.) , Weiser (S.P.). Especially meaningful to locals. Bud voted to keep VLT’s and Weiser voted to get rid of them. lol!
I remember when I was living in Calgary a friend of mine happended across some guys drinking Pil in the park. As a joke he asked, “Hey, what part of Saskatchewan are you from?”
“We’re form Noth Battleford!”

Perhaps you could incorperate the fine prairie tradition of using body parts with the name change. You know like Elbow, Eyebrow, Arm_it, Barr Head, and Moose Jaw. Then you could call it Beer Belly, Saskatchewan. Just a thought…
p.s. I decided to leave out Big Beaver so as to keep this a G rated blog.
