The U14 Lions Oilers are coming off a historic season under the leadership of first-year head coach Christian Pfeifer. Finishing with a 5-1 record, the team secured the top spot in the league before narrowly missing a championship game appearance. Their success culminated in a bowl game victory at home, earning them third place overall in the league.

"What we did last year with the Oilers, it was a lot of firsts for this team," Pfeifer said. "It was a very historical season for us. We've never had that kind of success at this level."

Krissy Wallman, TeleMiracle Rep for the Estevan Kinette Club, joined the SUN 102 Morning Show to share the club’s plans for TeleMiracle 49. After raising $18,000 last year, the Estevan Kinette Club is gearing up for their annual auction, running February 5 to 8. Wallman encourages donations from businesses, crafters, bakers, and artists, with items accepted until the end of January.

The Estevan & District Music Festival is a celebration of the performing arts, offering opportunities for participants to showcase their talents in piano, vocal, instrumental, ensemble, choir, and even spoken word performances. Celebrating its 60th anniversary last year, the festival marked a major milestone with three local piano students advancing to the provincial level—the most in recent memory.

We started the year off right with a visit to Weldon School in Bienfait to celebrate Jaden and his Grade 2/3 classmates as December’s Classroom of the Month winners! Mr. Nickel’s class was all smiles as we joined them shortly after their holiday break for a fun and festive lunch.

The students were eager to share their favourite holiday memories, from family traditions to wintertime fun, bringing the festive spirit into the new year. The celebration was complete with delicious meals from KFC Estevan and tasty treats from the Southern Plains Co-op, making it a day to remember.

As we close out another year, we’re thrilled to announce Daisy as December’s Perfect Pet and the final winner of 2024!

Daisy’s journey to becoming part of her family is as heartwarming as her sweet personality. Her owner, Ashley, shared that two of her three boys cashed in their past birthday and Christmas wishes to get a dog. Their application to Bright Eyes Dog Rescue was accepted, and just two months ago, Daisy joined their family.

As November comes to a close, we’ve gathered all the incredible entries for this month’s Perfect Pet Contest! The month began with a beautiful fall atmosphere, but, as it often does on the prairies, winter decided to make an early entrance. With snow on the ground and cold temperatures settling in, our furry friends are starting to embrace the season in their own unique ways—whether it’s snuggling up indoors, bounding through the snow, or showing off their winter coats!
