The crew at 104.5 More Country visited Hilton Ventures to thank them for all their hard work.

Spencer Hilton, a farmer with Hilton Farmers, explained to StrathmoreNow what a good season looks like.

"I guess what makes a good season for us in terms of what we are hoping for, is good moisture right to the surface, because then we can seed shallow and get the seed in the ground."

The farm is seeding canola, wheat, and barley.

Hitlon has spent nearly half his life in farming and still loves it.

There is always a lot that goes into running a sports program of any kind, and money is part of it. That is especially true for the Vanier Vikings Football program, which is holding a first-of-its-kind rib dinner fundraiser.

Attendees will be able to have a great meal at the Crushed Can Rec Room and Bar on June 9 from 4 - 8 p.m. Players of the team will be in the house, and you will have a shot at winning door prizes and a 50/50 draw.

KidSport Grande Prairie and Sport Central are teaming up to help local kids get off the sidelines and into the game.

If you thought wildlife rehabilitation was all syringes and serious faces, Zoe Nakata is here to prove otherwise.

The Executive Director of Wildlife Haven Rehabilitation Centre dropped by the Country 107 studio this morning, where she joined Carly Koop for a round of rapid-fire Q&A—and let’s just say, we covered everything from blanket snuggles to diva swans, with a healthy dose of owl obsession thrown in for good measure. The Centre is hosting a baby Shower on Saturday and questions asked were all about baby animals that visit the crew at Wildlife Haven. 

Carnie's Comments

Time for Throwback Thursday - just a minute to remember the good ol' days.

It was the fall of 1973. The Carnie family had just moved from Regina to Moose Jaw and I got my first taste of the old Civic Centre.

I quickly became a fan of the SJHL's Canucks and, later in life, became friends with a few of the guys who played on that team like hometown boy Marv Merkel and Elbow, Saskatchewan's Kent Knutson.
