Going all the way!

The great thing about living so close to the Bayshore Community Centre is a night like this. You'd think a highly celebrated young couple just tied the knot in an evening ceremony with all those cars honking and passengers hollering in an endless procession of headlights along 3rd Avenue East. Yet this occasion is even rarer than a night wedding in Owen Sound... Our Attack have just been crowned the Western Conference champions in a Game 5 blow-out of the Windsor Spitfires, winning 10-4 in dramatic fashion. Memorial Cup, here we come! To think that some of us speculated in the not-so-distant past that the Attack would be putting away their hockey sticks before the post-season. Truth be told, this is the year many of us have dreamed of for so long. Should we secure just one more series win, one can only imagine the celebratory parade in the Sound. That's one photo op few of us will want to miss.

Follow the team on their playoff journey by visiting their website. Go, Attack, go!!!!

INXS in OS

If you had told anyone living in Owen Sound back in 1987 that INXS would one day headline a show at Kelso Beach Park, disbelief would have been the likely response.

Fast forward to 2011 where the reality of a concert featuring the Aussie not-so-new sensations is starting to sink in. With the line-up just announced for Big Music Fest 3 at Kelso Beach Park on July 2nd, the reincarnation of INXS featuring Canadian lead singer J.D. Fortune is poised to rock the Sound.

And there's more... Other acts include the reunited Tea Party, CanCon rock icon Kim Mitchell, Fefe Dobson, Theory Of A Deadman, rapper Classified and These Kids Wear Crowns.

Tickets cost $49.50 and can be purchased at Kelsey's in Owen Sound or click here.
