Spring break is a time enjoyed by many and, perhaps for just as many, can be quite stressful.

"As a mom myself, I remember going, 'What am I going to do with these kids?'" says Chelsea Fernstrom, a family educator with the Steinbach Family Resource Centre (SFRC).

It's a question she assures many parents are asking as their little ones grow more excited with each passing hour.

She offers some survival tips for those wondering how they're going to manage.

After four incredible years, this past weekend marked the final episode of the Canadian Country Showcase.  Before we said goodbye to The Canadian Country Showcase, we made sure to go out with a bang! Josh Ross joined us to help close out the show, sharing stories about his experience touring with Jelly Roll, giving us some behind-the-scenes moments, and debuting his brand-new single, "Leave Me Too." Miss the last show?

The Spike & Friends Pet Services Inc. Adorable Adoptables from the Moose Jaw Humane Society this week is Callie! Callie is a 7-year-old spayed female Catahoula mix. Callie and her cat sister, Carly, are a special duo seeking their forever family together. Callie's mama loved her so very much, but sometimes life can throw you some curve balls, and recognizing that you can no longer give your beloved pets the care and attention they need while you focus on getting yourself back on track is what is best for everyone. Callie is a very sweet, gentle soul.

That awesome combination of bingo and badminton is back at Humboldt Collegiate. The event is a fundraising effort by the school’s French group and goes from 11:30 – 4:30 on Saturday, April 5 at the Collegiate commons area and the gym.  

It’s $10 per person to enter the badminton tournament in either the singles or doubles categories.  

We here at CochraneNow are dino crazy. We were all very sad to hear that Tyra the T-Rex will be closing at the end of 2029 so we want to pay our respects. Check out the eulogy below and sign the petition to bring Tyra to Cochrane!

It's time for Facebook Friday! I find the best of the best.

This friend posting, "Arrived late to the weekly kleptomaniacs anonymous meeting and all the seats were already taken."

I like this, "Out of all the inventions in the last 100 years, the dry erase board is probably the most remarkable."

Here's a funny fella who shares, "To the thief who took my anti-depressants, I hope you're happy."

This dad says, "Being a dad is mostly about being grumpy and knowing things."

Items are pouring into the Royal Canadian Legion Branch No. 47 in Weyburn for their Huge Indoor Garage Sale. From furniture and household items to clothing and anything else one can imagine, there will be something for everyone at this event, coming up on April 3rd, 4th, and 5th.

They still have room for more items, though, so anyone wanting to purge unwanted items after a spring cleaning does not have to wait for summer to host a garage sale.

Board Member Jerry Ponto said items can be dropped off at the Legion in advance.

Name That Tune was a more current music scene.

Marvin was the first to text in and he risked it but unfortunately only knew the artist's name not the correct title. 

Listen to our conversation below. 

You could be next to play tune in Friday mornings to hear the song of the day.
