The next cover comes from Rouleau Saskatchewan AKA Dog River from the hit TV series Corner Gas. The logo of the TV series and Dog River appears on the postmark. This postmark is not listed on Canada Post's website of pictorial postmarks and was applied in excellent condition. The postmark is dated April 14, 2014.
