It's time for the weekly treat we call Facebook Friday!

We'll start with this mom who says, "I just shut my teenager's bedroom door to make my house feel cleaner."

Here's a question, "Did we totally wipe out ring around the collar in the 80s? I never hear about it anymore."

Just in time for payday, this one, "It's called gross pay because it's disgusting to see what you could have made."

This friend shares, "1974: I can't wait to see what the world is like in 50 years. 2024: I miss 1974."

Are you looking for something to do this weekend in Cochrane? We've got you covered.

A misty, murky noon hour didn’t put a damper on Olymel’s Giving Back Together barbecue fundraiser. The chefs braved the weather, flipping pork souvlaki burgers provided by Drake Meats, while diners gathered inside the Olymel building to enjoy the noon hour feast.  

“It doesn’t deter anyone from coming out to this great fundraiser,” said Casey Smit, VP with Olymel. “It’s our eighth year of doing this, and we’re pretty excited.” 

107.5 Bolt FM had the pleasure of visiting the Wuchner farm for Week 4 of Meal in the Field. The Wuchner family, with roots dating back to 1911, continues to cultivate the land with dedication and pride.

When asked about the current harvest, Warren Wuchner shared, "We’re about 30% done, and it’s been fairly smooth sailing with good weather."

This year, the Wuchners are harvesting their usual crops—wheat, canola, and soft wheat, a tradition that reflects over a century of farming expertise.

Today marks a significant milestone for the FAIM Society as it celebrates the grand opening of its new branch in Airdrie. The event, which will take place from noon to 2:00 PM at 28 Gateway Drive, highlights the organization’s commitment to supporting adults with developmental disabilities in rural communities surrounding Calgary.

Name That Tune was an easy win for Heidi!

She was the first to text in with the correct song scoring her a $50.00 Humboldt Sobeys gift card and chose to risk it all. It was an easy win for Heidi as she didn't even need to think about it! Congrats Heidi! 

Listen to the replay below.

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

What a summer it's been!

From fairs and festivals to BBQs and beyond, we’ve loved seeing you all enjoying our RAM 1500 Classic, a truck worth an eye-popping $76,000! 🚗💨

If you see army vehicles rolling through Cochrane tomorrow, don't be alarmed. It's all part of the annual celebration at the local Legion branch for National Legion Week.

Sergeant-at-Arms Joey Cyr said they're hosting their fourth annual show and they will have military vehicles and a large locomotive on display.
