After much work, a flurry of renovations and critical preparations, the Humboldt and District SPCA staff and board say they are ready for the big move to their new location. The SPCA acquired property and buildings just south of its current location. 

The moving dates are Friday June 20 and Saturday June 21, and the call is out for volunteers and casual helpers to ship everything, including the animals over.

Country star Jess Moskaluke is ready to bring the heat to southern Manitoba this weekend, and fans should expect more than just great music—they’re in for a high-energy experience packed with heart, humour, and maybe a few surprises. 

Moskaluke joined the Country 107 Morning Show served up by A&W Steinbach ahead of her Saturday night performance at the Niverville Fair. She hits the main stage at 9:30 p.m., and if you think touring is all glitz and glam, she is here to set the record straight.
