On the Country 100 F.M. afternoon show, brought to you by Ashdown's Furniture & Interiors LTD., I wanted to know what listen's first tickets were.

No, not concert tickets, rather tickets handed out by RCMP and police. Maybe you were being young and naive while going a little too fast, or maybe you had a perfect driving record all your life and made a mistake which resulted in a fine.

Jason nominated his wife Lisa and the kitchen staff because they are working hard every day, and he wanted them to be recognized.

Do you have someone in mind that has been working extra hard, or a local business that always puts in 110% to make sure you are happy with their service? Why not nominate them for a Country Coffee Break?

Sports fans show their support by cheering on their favourite team and for one Winnipegger, he takes his support to a whole new level. 

Dan Nolin has been an avid Winnipeg Jets fan for several years. Not only does he enjoy watching the game, but also brings joy to Winnipeggers during the playoffs in his 1971 Chevy Vega wagon. 

"I just started with a Jet sticker, logos on the side and it was spring playoff, so it's like, 'Oh, let's take the hot rod out.' And I had a Winnipeg Jet plate, so I put it on the car and the rest his history."

Portage la Prairie is one step closer to having wheelchair-accessible playground equipment which would make Island Park a more inclusive play space for everyone.   

At the centre of the initiative is Kim Wikdahl, volunteer and co-chair of the Parks Committee. She says the idea was sparked years ago after watching a local family help their child, who uses a wheelchair, on and off a school bus — and noticing the lack of accessible options in the city’s parks. 

Wrestling fans in Mitchell are in for a "body-slam" of excitement, as Canadian Wrestling's Elite (CWE) gets ready to "tag" the area into its Point to Prove tour.
