Happy Corner Gas Day! (... or is it Merry Corner Gas Day? )
April 13 will be Corner Gas Day in Saskatchewan, following the signing of a proclamation Monday at the provincial legislature.Corner Gas Day will coincide with CTV's broadcast of the final episode of the comedy series after six seasons.
Wall signed the official proclamation in Regina with series star and creator Brent Butt present.
The show, set in the fictional town of Dog River, was shot in Regina and the village of Rouleau, 70 kilometres southwest of the city.
Butt, 42, is from Tisdale, Sask.
"We want to thank Saskatchewan's own Brent Butt, the Corner Gas producers, cast and crew for many hours of laughter," Wall said in a news release.

One, Two, Three, Four. Who's the Queen and what's she for?
Obama and his wife, Michelle, presented the Queen with a rare coffee table book of songs by composers Richard Rodgers and Lorenz Hart that Rodgers signed in May 1952.
But word that he also had given her an iPod created plenty of buzz as it conjured up images of the British monarch all plugged up, earbuds in place, and perhaps bopping to the 40 show tunes on the portable device.
To bring the book to life, the iPod was loaded with dozens of classic show tunes, including several from Camelot, which was based on the King Arthur legend, and My Fair Lady, which was set in London.

Getting it online
The Hearst Corp. announced Monday that it would stop publishing the 146-year old newspaper, Seattle's oldest business, and cease delivery to more than 117,600 weekday readers. The company, however, said it would maintain seattlepi.com, making it the nation's largest daily newspaper to shift to an entirely digital news product.
Demand for news has not fallen but the revenue model has changed faster than American newspapers can keep up. Thus, falling advertising revenue and the migration of readers to online has rocked newspapers large and small. The Rocky Mountain News in Denver closed in February. The Seattle P-I is the second newspaper to shut down in 2009.
Other major newspaper companies are reducing staff, eliminating bureaus and freezing pay in an attempt to get expenses in line with falling revenue.
It's all downhill from here
Mental powers start to dwindle at 27 after peaking at 22, marking the start of old age, US research suggests.
Professor Timothy Salthouse of the University of Virginia found reasoning, spatial visualisation and speed of thought all decline in our late 20s.
Professor Salthouse said his findings suggested "some aspects of age-related cognitive decline begin in healthy, educated adults when they are in their 20s and 30s."
