Events:

The Meal in the Field deliveries are still going strong, and we'll officially half way through.

Thursday's delivery took the team out towards Tramping Lake where Konnie Elder-Dvorak nominated her hard working team. They got to sit back and enjoy a delicious hot meal of chicken and wedges from Kerrobert Reddi Mart, as well as a bucket full of prizes from our sponsors!

That's four deliveries down, and four deliveries to go! Keep an eye out, we might be in your community delivering hot meals next!

UPDATE: Saturday’s Enduro race at the Estevan Motor Speedway has been cancelled due to heavy rainfall.

Organizers say a decision will be made later today on whether the event will be rescheduled for Sunday. Updates will be posted on the Speedway’s Facebook page.

Estevan racing fans will have the chance to see thrilling Enduro races this Saturday at the Estevan Motor Speedway. Unlike traditional racing classes, the Enduro allows participants to take older cars, make basic modifications, and compete on the track.

Nearly 1,000 volunteers hit the streets and packed the warehouse last night for the annual Rotary Food Bank Drive in support of the Salvation Army Food Bank.

Thanks to their efforts, and the generosity of countless donors, the community collected more than 38 tons of food and hygiene products.

Organizers say the outpouring of support shows the power of people coming together to help neighbours in need. 

They’re thanking every volunteer, donor, and supporter for making the night such a huge success.

Today’s delivery out in the field officially wraps up our Grain Rush driven by Great Plains Ford.  

Today, we took some delicious KFC out to Gary Kopec and his crew, who weren’t too disappointed in the rain we recently got. 

It’s a busy time of year for Hunger in Moose Jaw! 

Their programs are in full swing, including the Child Nutrition and the Junior Chef programs. 

Preparations are also underway for the annual Pumpkin Harvest Festival, scheduled for Saturday, Sept. 20 at the Yara Community Garden at the 900 block of Grey Avenue. 

Three-time Juno Award winner and Order of Canada member Connie Kaldor stopped by Country 106.1 and SUN 102 ahead of her Oct. 1 concert at Estevan Comprehensive School, part of the Estevan Arts Council’s concert series.

Kaldor, joined by her husband Paul Campagne, shared stories from her 45-year career and performed live in studio, including a new track from her album Wide Open Spaces.

What started with a simple call for shampoo turned into an outpouring of generosity that filled the shelves at Genesis House.

Last week, the local shelter for women and families in crisis put out a request for bathroom essentials through a “drive-by donation drive,” inviting residents to leave items on their doorstep for pickup. The response was overwhelming.

“We knew we were running really, really low,” says Executive Director Ang Braun. “It’s been a crazy busy year. We’ve done this kind of drive-by idea before, but this response was just out of this world.”

There have been about 18,000 games across the history of the National Football League, and thanks to "NFL Scorigami", every single final score from those games is publicly available at the tap of a finger. 

The website tracks every unique score in the NFL for the purpose of logging all of the final score combinations until finally getting a "gami", a score that has never happened before in an NFL game.
