On Monday July 21st, Chris and Arturo and I paid a visit to the Marengo Hotel, in Marengo, Saskatchewan, for the Beer Parlour Project. This was outing number 32, officially known as BP32.0.
This was one of the only hotels we could find that was open on Mondays. Many of these small town establishments are closed on Monday, and some on Sunday as well.
As expected, is wasn't very busy, but we did have a chance to visit with the owner Penny, her daughter Kaila, and grandson Ronan. A couple of other patrons stopped by briefly, but that was about it on this occasion. We did a few interviews and took some photographs. We promised Penny that we would do our best to plan for a return visit at some point in the future, and schedule it on a busier night.
It showered off an on during our visit, and later in the evening it rained fairly heavily. Chris had to return to Calgary to take Connie to a medical appointment the next morning. So, we said our goodbyes and he hit the road.
Arturo and I decided to avoid the gravel roads going back to Macklin, so we took the long way around through Kindersley and Kerrobert. It probably added an hour and 100km to our trip but we avoided driving a bunch of greasy backroads in the dark.
