AVR WIN STICKER WINNER IN GREENWOOD

The AVR Community Cruiser was on the road today as we packed it full of prizes and headed to the Greenwood Mall. I gave away over $200 in free prizes, like AVR T-Shirts, AVR Shopping bags, Cold Stone Creamery Ice Cream Cakes, and this massive hunk of chocolate...

That's a $50 Allan's Candy Prize pack with all the goodies that he will need to have a great Easter at his place! I wish he was my dad, I'd ask for the Mr.Nutty Bunny!

I got to meet a great in Canadian Broadcasting today, and I have to say it was an honor. He came into AVR to record some commercials. Although if you listen to my show, you would never know how much he influenced me in my broadcasting career, trust me he did. I used to watch him with his weekly chats with Steve Murphy on the CTV Evening News at 6. He is now a Senator, but Mike Duffy is still one of my all time favorite broadcasters, and to sit and talk with him was very cool. He knew Willard Bishop personally, and Willard was the founder of Evangeline Broadcasting that he eventually turned into Annapolis Valley Radio with a network of 5 radio stations. Willard was a friend of mine before he passed as well and we got to exchange stories about him, plus Mike was using the new Blackberry Torch. We talked about that and how he wants to check out the new Playbook that came out yesterday from Blackberry. He is a great man, a great story teller and more over a great Canadian. If you ever get to spend a minute with Mike, you will leave a better person for it! I called him Mr.Duffy and he told me that was his father, but it still felt odd calling one of my idols by their first name. The pleasure was all mine Mike!


Tomorrow Jason McCoy will set up his show for you at the Casino in Halifax that he is playing tomorrow night, and Nichole Lutz will take you on an Easter egg Hunt in Kentville. All that and maybe even a bag of chips starting at 5:30!

Here's the full interview I did with Victoria Banks, really nice person and i can't wait to see her with Reba in September!
