Limerick, SK

The village of Limerick, Saskatchewan, was named after a place in Ireland. It's population is about 130 inhabitants.
In June, 2012 we drove into Limerick to take photos of the grain elevator that's still standing there. It seems like it's out in the middle of nowhere, but that's typical for much of southern Saskatchewan.
The joke about being able to watch your dog run away from home for days must have originated here somewhere. :>)
It's good to see that the elevator still stands and appears to be in use by the local farmers.

It's good to see the Paterson is still standind and operating there.... BTW did you go to the SW and see the Assiniboia Mutual Feeders Elevator near Blue J Quarter Horse Farm (3 km south of Limerick on Sec. Hwy 358, and 3 km west on Twp Rd. 8-0 W3. It was still standing when I was there in 2009!
