I was privileged and pleased to attend a Major League Baseball game at Yankee Stadium a number of years ago with some good friends.

We planned in advance with a rock concert the main attraction at Madison Square Garden but we also bought tickets to see the Yankees host the Baltimore Orioles.

We had great seats but they were $300 apiece. I wasn't really excited about that but, one of my buddies said, "Think about it, how many times will you get the chance to see a ball game at Yankee Stadium?"

Swift Current Online's Ticket Takeoff contest is sending you to some of the biggest shows happening at Co-op Place and the Esplanade in Medicine Hat, Alberta, with tixx.ca and Medicine Hat Lodge.

Grace Olson is our latest Ticket Takeoff winner, and she's won a pair of tickets to see Duffelbag Theatre's production of Robin Hood at the Esplanade on Sunday, along with a night's stay at Medicine Hat Lodge!

For the eighth year, Cochranite Gary Robertson is hoping to once again thrill and spook residents of all ages, all while having fun and helping others.

Robertson spends countless hours decorating his home into a house of scares every year.

"This year's theme is once again The Asylum. So people can expect a pretty scary and demented experience that they would experience in an insane asylum and they can pick their different level of frights." 

The two Free Food Sheds have been a hot topic of discussion on social media here in Cochrane over the past few weeks. So, Lauren and I thought it would be great to see firsthand what a food rescue volunteer shift actually looks like with Helping Hands.

The Cochrane Pregnancy Care Centre (CPCC) is preparing for its largest annual fundraiser, featuring its popular cake auction, local entertainment, and inspiring client stories.

The local non-profit is celebrating 31 years of hope and support in our community. 

Susan Campbell, executive director says the money raised from this event goes to helping them support and educate people who experience unplanned or unexpected pregnancy and related issues.

On Tuesday, Colin Powers and Chris Martens paid a visit to Ms. McCleary's Grade 3 class at O.M. Irwin School, who was our Classroom of the Month for October. They brought along pizza from Boston Pizza and great prizes for the kids from Layered Brilliance 3D, Sewline Upholstery and Thistle Be Dandy, plus Parker Rondeau and Jace McFaul from the Swift Current Broncos joined the party and brought the students youth tickets for a future Broncos home game!
