Bobbi is off to see James Keelaghan with some friends and family thanks to our Ticket Takeoff contest. 

When we called her this morning to let her know, Bobbi was delighted to have won the tickets as well as a one-night stay at the Medicine Hat Lodge. 

The holiday season will quickly be upon us and the local Salvation Army are looking for volunteers to help make the season bright. 

Volunteers are being sought to fill a number of kettle shifts as Captain Ian Scott with the Salvation Army explains. 

"This is one of the times of the year that we get to engage with the community. So alot of folks enjoy coming out and taking a two-hour shift on the kettles and seeing friends, family and the other shoppers. So were just asking if people are interested in standing for two hours on a kettle shift."

It was a busy morning on Country 94.1 yesterday as Chris Martens gave two lucky qualifiers the chance to win some cold hard cash. 

First up was Dustin who chose to gamble his $94 on one of our bulls and that proved to be profitable for him as he won himself a fantastic prize from one of our sponsors CMX and walked away with a fantastic set of grilling gloves and seasoning kit including bbq sauce and rubs. 

Earlier this week we made someone's Monday by announcing our very first Ticket Takeoff winner. 

Over the past two weeks we had many entries come in all with the hopes of winning a pair of tickets to see The Sam Roberts Band as well as The Strumbellas at Co-op Place this Fri Sep 13th. Tickets are still available here 

Sam Hunt is bringing his "Locked Up Tour" to the Sasktel Center on Sep 23rd and we want to send you to enjoy the show. 

You can enter for your chance to win each weekday morning on Country 94.1 by playing "Body or Backroad". Chris Martens will provide listeners with a name and listeners must identify if it is the name of a body of water or the name of a backroad. Get the answer correct and you will be entered for your chance to win. 

We have five pairs of tickets to give away and we will be doing the final draws on the morning of Fri Sep 6th. 

You're next chance to bid, buy and save is just around the corner!

He's Back!

We are so happy to welcome back Alex Kozroski once again this summer as our Southwest Explorer.

A new initiative seeks to improve the playground facilities at two local schools. 

Mark Reiter, Principal at Ecole Centennial School provides details on the Growing Fun Together campaign.

"So the Growing Fun Together campaign is a joint initiative between the Chinook School Division, the Holy Trinity School Division and the City of Swift Current. And what we are trying to do is we are trying to improve our playground improvements here at both schools."
