Time is ticking, and we need your help to spotlight our community’s most deserving farmers. With Harvest Heroes right around the corner on November 13th at Smitty's Lounge, there’s still a chance to nominate a farmer who’s gone above and beyond to support our region. But we need more entries! Let’s come together to recognize the individuals who dedicate their lives to nurturing our land and growing the food we all rely on.

“These are a beautiful bunch of ladies who have been in our community for 18 years! They are hard workers and love how I feel when I go in!”

This is the nomination that sent Cochrane McDonald’s and CochraneNow to The Hen House to surprise them with The McCafe Coffee Break. 

Every week, we listen to the community and go celebrate local businesses and organisations that go above and beyond. 

Grunthal’s Pick and Pack Operation Christmas Child Shoebox Store opens for its 5th year on Tuesday.

Marnie and her adorable books can be found this weekend at the Millarville Christmas Market, so if there is someone in your life who has small children or perhaps a teacher who's looking for new ways to help children with English these are a great idea!
