There is a LONG list of events and here are the ones we have listed under our "Events" section at CJHK.ca: Father Christma...

Well. You don't hear THIS everyday. An Air Atlanta Icelandic 747 was going to Belgium on November 9 with a horse in the cargo hold of the plane. Somehow, the horse got free of it's stall. The pilots had to divert back to JFK airport. Listen to the air traffic control call below from TMZ.

If you visited your local Tim Hortons for a coffee yesterday, you likely noticed some different smiles available. Now don't worry, we didn't go all the way back to spring with the time change, it is still November.

Again this year I have been hearing the arguments around Christmas and how it should not be heard about or any signs of it seen until after Remembrance Day. I was talking with one lady that has a long family military history and she was telling me that her decorations were up November 1st. She said the wars were foug...

Did you miss last night's CMA Awards? The performances were incredible. I personally loved Jelly Roll's opener of the show. He performed his song "Need a Favor" and was joined on stage with surprise guest Wynonna Judd. Well, if you did end up missing the show, no need to worry. Thanks to the CMA Awards Facebo...

Isn't it something how movies and music that you grew up with stick with you? There are songs I used to listen to and when I hear them now, usually in elevators and grocery stores (haha), they bring me right back. All the Friends reruns that have been on lately take me back. The "Bee Movie" was on last eve...

Calling all Yellowstone Fans! They have announced the date for the end of the series! The first half of season 5 was released in November of 2022 and then the writers' strike started.

Yesterday I had the chance to talk with the one sister from the South Shore, Angela Taylor about the experience. She even gave us some behind the scenes stor...

Waking up this morning to white roofs and fogged up / frosty windshields. It's a sure sign that fall is here and winter could hit whenever it feels like it. We are past the frost warnings now and it is every plant for itself. Last night was a chilly one and more than likely there was a frost where you live. If not, ...

Well, here's something you don't see every day! A Belarus Company has created a Formula 1 car made out of Tractor parts. It was showcased at a recent agricultural equipment expo in Serbia. It's called Farmula (MTZ 50) and is a show car. Pretty cool!!

I remember watching Nicolas Cage boost cars in "Gone in 60 Seconds" and thought that was pretty entertaining. But knowing that it is happening more and more in this country is a bit concerning. I am not the only one thinking that way either. Latest survey showed that over 80% of Canadians are concerned by ...

Well, this is interesting... Streaming service Netflix has announced that they are looking at opening actual stores. We're talking... "walk in stores". A store for what you may ask... Apparently, Netflix aims to open a network of stores offering retail, dining and live entertainment that leverage its TV shows...

Random items always make me smile and sometimes they make me wonder, really hard HTH. (How The Heck??) This past weekend the passing of Suzanne Somers got me thinking about one of the most random things I remember seeing on the road to the old farm. That area is notorious for people dumping garbage along the road and ...

Fridays can be busy, that is not news, but the weekend is almost here and that is a great time to sit down to some eggs. Don't get me wrong, there are not many things quicker to make than eggs, but it can sometimes seem like too much for the busy weekday morning. Today is "World Egg Day" and if you can't bri...

It's Fire Prevention Week and this year the focus is on cooking safety. I know what you are thinking, this is so simple and common sense ... but the kitchen is the most common place for fires to start. Cooking Safety Starts With YOU You might know what to do, but when there are flames coming from the stove and smoke i...

I've heard of many old video games selling for large amounts of money, but a receipt!!... An old Blockbuster receipt showing the purchase of a rare video game has earned a Torontonian $700. Back in 1999, they bought a rare video game called, ClayFighter: Sculptor's Cut, which was released as a Blockbuster Video rental ...

The Pumpkin People Festival is all set for another great year in Kentville. Looks like they are taking to the sea in 2023. I was able to talk with Lindsay Young from the Town of Kentville about what you can expect to see at this year's event. Don't miss this fun reason for a drive to the Annapolis Valley. Kentville Pu...

Well this was a busy weekend. Trying to fit in all the rained out activities that were missed over the summer. Aside from trying to make hay a couple months late, we took a trip to Mahone Bay to check out the Scarecrow Festival. It is a great walk through town looking at the displays. You will see any fairy tale char...

I guess the answer to that question would be NO, especially if we look at the early uses for eggnog. I saw a post this morning from the grocery store in New Germany saying that they had just received their first eggnog of the season. Not gonna lie, I will probably pick up a carton when I see it. So where did this now ...

Of course there were a number of awards handed out throughout the week of celebration, those were not shown during the broadcast. For those that were without power and unable to catch ...

I don't think I am exaggerating if I say that summer 2023 was just a season of disappointment. Now I say that knowing there are many others that have a lot more to complain about. The victims of floods and fire still trying to get life back to normal, I can't even imagine. But aside from those tragic events, most of...

The 48th annual Toronto International Film Festival is set to wrap up this weekend and again there have been some very interesting works viewed on the big screen.

We are now keeping a very close eye on Hurricane Lee. Lee remains a Category 3 and was in the northern Caribbean Sunday night. The exact track of Hurricane Lee still remains unclear, as it continues to move further north up the Atlantic Ocean. So I have to ask...Are you prepared? If you don't have an Emergency Prepared...

How can it be back to school time already?? The excitement is building as students will be heading back to the classroom tomorrow. In all the excitement there are also thoughts of dangers and therefore there are likely conversations about bus and traffic safety, stranger danger, etc. Parents will want pictures of cours...

It was a great summer, even without perfect weather conditions. We know this because of the picture proof you sent to us for the Canadian Tire Picture Perfect Summer on Country 100.7. All the pictures became contest entries when you sent them to us. The grand prize draw was held this morning and congratulations to Mich...

This past week I had the honor of MCing a couple of great events. Thursday night the "Farm to Table" event raised $30,000 for the Kidney Foundation. Aside from a very tasty meal, we were treated to a performance by a true songsmith, Dave Carroll. That name will probably send you mind back to the viral video...

This a huge year for the annual IWK fundraiser, Log A Load For Kids. Their 18th annual event is on this weekend at the Harmony Ball Field, adding to the over $300,000 already raised for the IWK.

Did you know we have public transportation and they will come right to your home and pick you up? I announced them as they drove through the Grand Street Parade at the Big Ex last week, but I have to admit I did not know much about them. Lunenburg County Wheels have expanded their coverage area and the best part, It's ...

Tomorrow night we will be treated to a great show when High Valley takes the main stage at the Big Ex.

Canada Post issues delivery service alert for Nova Scotia OTTAWA - Canada Post is advising customers that it has issued a red service alert for the province of Nova Scotia due to severe flooding in the region. As of this morning, ...

If I were to guess...I'd say Ceasar. Personally, I am not a fan, but it is a Canadian staple. People that love Ceasars, LOVE Ceasars. Surprising enough, it didn't even make this year's list. Square, a financial services platform used data from restaurant credit transactions to determine what Canadians are ordering at r...

As we finally are getting some warmer temperatures, please be on the lookout for blue-green algae.

Tomorrow is a celebration too tasty to miss, National Ice Cream Day. Now if you are wanting to celebrate this great day in true Canadian fashion, you should probably get some Moon Mist. I can almost hear some of you sounding like my grandmother used to, "These new-fangled flavours aren't for me".... What wou...

It was announced earlier this week that we will be able to collect Air Miles at Dollarama starting on August 7. Recently, BMO purchased Air Miles.

How real would you want a movie experience to be? Imagine sitting in the bushes watching Jurassic Park when the dinosaurs are walking through the woods. Do you want to watch Titanic sitting on a floating door? What about watching a shark flick sitting in the water? Well that chance is offered up this summer in Albert...

I thought about looking at "Cow Appreciation Day" today, but decided to MOOOOVE on to something else and explore something that might help you save when grocery shopping. I use this a lot when it comes to "DEALS" that are posted as you walk through the aisles, especially when it comes to the BOGO di...

It is a real sense of accomplishment when you are able to train an animal. It is a pleasure to be around a well-behaved pet and if that animal can do tricks or respond to commands, that is even more impressive. Last night at Music on the Riverbank there was a dog, just amazingly well behaved even around the crowd, sh...

Another day with a risk of thunder showers after we had some pretty sharp lightning yesterday, even a power interruption.
