For the art walk, the classic metal train has been transformed with a colourful yarn bomb, knitted, and created by Tonya Vermette and Michelle Easton, you can put your face in the outdoor photo stand for an old fashion picture that was repainted and restored by Mya Lauer, or you can take a walk through the visitor centre and enjoy local Indigenous people's artwork by Brian Marion, Darwin Keshane and Simone McLeod.

Randy Goulden, the executive director with Tourism Yorkton, said that the staycation is a way to give both visitors and locals something to do this summer.

"We are pretty excited about Staycation Bingo," she stated. We are looking to move more visitors that come to see at the information centre around the City, and we are also looking to provide some information to people that live in and around Yorkton. There are so many things to do once you are here, and we really want to promote what we have."

Goulden added that if you fill out your bingo sheet, you can take a photo and submit them online or bring them to the visitor centre for a chance to win prizes from Scoops.

Draws will be happening on July 15, August 15, and August 30.
