Hopefully better late than never? Life ganged up on us a bit this week so apologies for being a couple of days behind in posting these extended versions of interviews from last Saturday's show.

In this episode, Tony Doherty and Kristine McMahon share all the details on this year's Kincardine Scottish Festival.

Also, Thomas Beard calls in to bring us up to speed on For the Love of Music and some shows that will happen soon in Goderich, Wingham and Kincardine.

And Randy Carroll has the latest on the Goderich Legion, an important fundraiser he's spearheading and the new Goderich Community Centre.

The Alexandra Marine & General Hospital Foundation's "Magnetic Moments" campaign seems to be the talk of the town these days so I want to introduce you to the lady who helps to keep us all between the lines on the project. She is Mandy Sinclair and we'll learn more about her and her passion for the campaign.

There's so much happening right now and a lot of it is in support of one of my favourite causes, the AMGH Foundation's Magnetic Moments campaign to bring MRI technology to the Goderich Hospital, a cause I think we all agree is an important one.  As serious as the acquisition of that technology is, we are finding a lot of really fun ways to raise the money needed to make it happen. One of those ways is an event called Rock The Range and my friends Dan McLaughlin and Justin Reid are here to talk about that.

Also in this episode, we will chat with Gurpreet Singh about the Vaisakhi Celebration coming up soon, a wonderful afternoon of Indian food, dancing and more ... and again, in support of Magnetic Moments.

And also on the show today, a couple of old friends, Nancy Ross and Linda Street to chat about the Kincardine Brass Band & MacKay Choristers big Spring concert, Walking on Sunshine!
