It's auction time, and you've still got a couple of days to lay down some bids on hundreds of local deals.

Whether this is your first time taking part in one of our auctions or you're a seasoned veteran, here are some items to keep an eye on:

Sunny celebrated April's Classroom of the Month with a trip to Miss Kallyn Michielsen Grade 2/3 class at Crestomere School in Crestomere on April 14.

The class was super excited to meet Sunny and was treated to lunch from Boston Pizza.

Each student also received a prize bag which was filled up with gifts from local sponsors, including some pretty cool sunglasses and T-shirts.

A round of questions for Sunny, some stories and fun, then it was hugs and high fives!

Last week we wrapped up Crack the Vault driven by Great Plains Motorsports. 

Despite the need to pay some bills, the thrill of a vacation, and the need for a haircut (thanks Bradley), no one managed to Crack the Vault and walk away with $100,000. 

One question remains though. What code would have cracked the vault? Let's find out!

You know, from time to time, you'll hear me say, "The best songs of today are the memories of yesterday".

And you know exactly what I mean if you're a regular listener to this radio station.

You have the opportunity to hear some of those songs live tomorrow night at Regina's Brandt Centre as BTO brings their "Back in Overdrive" tour to Saskatchewan.

The Headpins and April Wine are on the tour. You'll know every song they play.

I've seen both of those bands before and they're awesome.

The StrathmoreNow online auction is entering the home stretch.

Throughout the weekend, residents placed bids on local items from hundreds of businesses.

Some of the featured items include:

The community of Mossbank is in the running to win $25,000 through BASF's Growing Home Contest to help upgrade their Centennial Rink. The funding would go toward replacing the rink’s aging artificial ice compressor system.

Hopefully the nice weather is here to stay, and we can celebrate spring!
