Greater Moncton Kicks Off Christmas!

The biggest Christmas parade in Atlantic Canada got even bigger over the weekend...A lot bigger. Estimates are that between 160,000 and 170,000 people lined the streets of Moncton for the 38th annual Santa Claus Parade. That's up from just over 100,000 last year. The parade featured more than 100 entries this year. Magic 104 once again took part in the annual Tim Horton's Christmas Food Drive. You were more generous than ever this year donating an estimated 7 tonnes of food along the parade route. That's almost double the 4 tonnes donated last year! I knew it was more than last year when I found myself buried by the time we got to Highfield Square! Thanks for your donations and thanks for listening!

My New Friend And Yours...

You might have noticed something different coming out of your radio the past week or so... That's right...We've thrown some estrogen back into the morning show! Meet Shelli Summers! Shelli grew up in Moncton and after spending the last half a dozen years living in the wilds of Northern Ontario...she's back! And we're very happy to have her. She can now be heard keeping Tony in line weekday mornings on Magic 104 and adding a disposable razor to her list of things she'll be buying Tony for Christmas...

Thanks for listening!

Trees For A Brighter Future

Trees for a Brighter Future is an event organized by The Greater Moncton Association For Community Living. Various groups and businesses from here in South-East New Brunswick purchase trees and decorate them. They're displayed in Champlain Place for a couple of weeks and then auctioned off at a gala fundraiser at The Delta Beausejour on Friday, November 18th. Magic 104 purchased a tree and our gang got together on Saturday, November 5th to decorate it at the mall. Thanks to (From left) Emily, Jake, Katie and Olivia...They actually took part in the decorating of the tree unlike myself and Dan Barton...but let's face it...aren't we better off? I mean, who wants grown men touching a Christmas tree? Thanks to Patty, Margie, Monica, Melissa, Scotty, Cathy, Anna, & Mandy for doing 'the real' decorating. If you want to find out more about the GMACL and it's programs and the tree gala...phone the GMACL at 862-0356. Tickets can also be purchased at Scotiabank, Main Street, Moncton.

Thanks for listening!
