Marengo is a village in west central Saskatchewan, Canada, about 45 km (28 mi) west of Kindersley. It is located within the Sun West School Division.

In early 2014 the population increased to 52 when Niagara Falls, Ontario native and Fireball connoisseur Matthew Salvatore moved into the community.

Historical Events:

Sporting:

Marengo is proud to be selected as the host the 2016 Wapj Fantasy Football league inter-provincial draft. Upon the announcement, 2015 League Champion "Mitch G.", manager of the "Sir Blair Walsh's" had this to say: ""Gather your butt up - Wapj is coming to town." A gallup survey issued to 2 long-time residents after the announcement indicated positive reception for the event, and overall excitement for the anticipated infrastructure improvements that will have to be built-up to support the activities. Event Planning and construction industry veterans estimate the economic impact in the 24hours around the event is estimated at up to $22million dongs (Vietnamese - the local currency) but said a study is being planned to determine exactly how much.

2016 Nacho Postponement:

Marengo was catastrophically affected by what nearby Saskatoon residents called "one of the most significant food related events in history since the Poutine Bucket of 2006" . By the time the sign was erected approaching the end of July 2016, most residents had already built up such an appetite that once the confusion settled and the realization that nachos would not arrive for another coupe weeks the residents went into a hangry rage, prompting the local authorities to announce a state of emergency. To make matters worse, the town was set to host a major inter-provincial event only a few weeks later. Pro-nacho rally's were held each night in front of the town bar, with crowds reaching double digits. Marengo self-declared Mayor and Fireball connoisseur, Matthew Salvatore, appeased local residents by assuring they would get extra cheese on their nachos once the postponement was over. For the remainder of the postponement, the town band together begrudgingly eating Penny's wings every Friday on "Only-wings-Friday." While some consider this an event that helped transition Marengo from just a town full of people to a community of friends and family, outsider sociologist says it is yet to be seen what the long term socio-economic effects may bring.
