get by with a little help from your friends …

Town Radio Beausejour is coming up on a year old. We launched during Shades of the Past last year, and I guess I’m thinking of that day as our anniversary. We’ll be on hand during the Shades of the Past to chat with folks. Feel free to stop by our trailer beside the Town Office.

We hope to be able to continue with Town Radio long into the future. To do that, we’re probably going to need a little help from our friends. You might notice a “Friends” page along the top of this site. Folks interested in joining together to help shape what Town Radio becomes are invited to read that page, and join this committee. The role of this committee is to discuss and plan fund raising opportunities, and to help shape the programming heard on CKBJ-FM, in Beausejour, Manitoba.

We want to keep providing non-commercial, community based programming to Beausejour. Come and help us do that!

World’s Largest Social

From April 27th to May 16th, Town Radio is promoting the Worlds Largest Social.  It’s happening at the Sun Gro Centre on May 15, 2010. The event is part of Manitoba Homecoming and all proceeds will go toward building an outdoor skating rink to compliment Beausejour and Brokenhead’s recreational infrastructure. Come for the live bands, fantastic prizes, and an evening full of fun. Tickets available from ticketmaster.

Community Awards

The community awards happen April 22nd. Each year, it’s a chance for local folks to nominate and recognize the great work volunteers do for their community. Come to the awards ceremony and give them the applause they deserve.

Looking forward to spring

since it’s March and all.

I had some fun making recordings of folks while they were displaying their goods at the Spring Craft Show.  I used some studio quality portable recording equipment to do that, and then it was a matter of editing and getting it on the air. It was really noisy at the snow, but my microphones did a good job isolating the noise out.

I’m next headed to the Sun Gro Centre to pass along some information about the events there. But don’t forget the CPTC races happening in early March at the CPTC grounds. I’ll be making some air time for them too.
