An Edmonton musician got quite the shock when he realized a few songs he made years ago were featured on the popular Netflix series Love Is Blind.

Josh Sahunta is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist who has been making music in his Edmonton studio for years. Some locals may even recognize him for the shows he's played in Fort Saskatchewan.

In the past few months, Sahunta had several of his friends asking him if he had a song in the Netflix series Love Is Blind.

"I told all of them it wasn't [me]," Sahunta said.

The Fort Saskatchewan Legion raised thousands of dollars for a local dart player. 

Jaxson Danis, 13, is less than a week away from hopping on a plane to the Netherlands to take part in the World Dart Masters. To help pay for the expenses of such a big trip, the legion put on a massive fundraiser last Saturday (Nov. 26) night. 

Around 80 people took part in the event, enjoying a home-cooked meal, darts tournament, and a toonie toss to win a 60lb bottle of Crown Royale. 

Danis' mom, Sherilyn, helped to organize the event and said it was a massive success.
