Pulled pork is on the menu at the next Altona Senior Centre Fundraiser on October 25th

After refurbishing their entire kitchen and dropping in a brand-new parking lot, the Altona Senior Centre decided to host a delicious fundraiser that is coming up on October 25th!

5:00-7:00pm you can come enjoy some delicious pulled pork on a baked potato, as per usual it's for ages 1-99 and it's completely by donation.

Ernie Buhler is the current chairman on the board of directors at The Altona Senior Centre and he stopped by the studios to share all of the details with CFAM Morning Show co-host Zack Driedger:

On Episode 2 of "Still Speaking" season three, host Conrad Stoesz covers "the most important document in the Mennonite Heritage Archives"

"I think the most important document that we have is one that explains why there are Mennonites in Manitoba & Western Canada and why there are Mennonites in Mexico"

Whether lifting, dividing or planting new perennials, planting new trees or caring for others; gardening continues into Fall on the Lawn & Garden Journal

You can call host Carla Hrycyna live on the program with all of your gardening questions every Saturday morning at: 1-800-374-3315

Participants got their "bell rung" at the 2nd annual Bell Ringer 5 Hour Run/Hike this past weekend in Thornhill

"We're a cross-country ski team, putting on a running race, on bike trails" was the quote from Race Director Cheryl Koop who along with a host of volunteers organized the second annual "Bell Ringer" this past weekend, a five-hour run/hike which took place on some private property in Thornhill on September 21st.

The race format was roughly a 5km single track trail, mostly dirt or grass and some rocks/stones, 100 meters of elevation per lap and the goal was to try and complete as many laps as your mind and body could handle over five hours!

For the first time in years, it's looking like a dry weekend for Canada's Largest ATV Derby in St. Jean

The past few years have plagued the St. Jean ATV derby with rain and poor weather but for the 2024 derby, it is looking dry, warm and the organizers could not be more excited!

Held every year on the third weekend in September, the population of St. Jean can double and sometimes triple with the number of machines, people and campers that roll into town for Canada's Largest ATV/UTV Derby.

In addition to all the muddy fun, the group Almost Famous will be performing Friday night and Ricky Smits take the stage on Saturday.
