Which Way Does Kate Swing? The Sound of Winning with Kate Bruce

This is the first real winner I have had on my Midday Show on Mountain FM. Usually I only get to give things away when I am on other people’s shows, but today I got to give away two 9-hole passes to Castlegar Golf Club & RV Park. Sharon called in and won her first radio contest ever by correctly guessing which way I swing.

It almost does not even matter which way I swing, I am that bad at golf. I have had one lesson from my boyfriend’s father and I am pretty sure I embarrassed him at the club he used to be the President of in Calgary. Taking Summer 2013 off to move was a horrible idea, I really need to spring for some lessons now that I am living the perfect part of the country for golf.

Congratulations to Sharon and a huge thank-you to my bosses (and Castlegar Golf Club & RV Park) for letting me give away prizes!

Remember That Time Jenny Went Away? Kate Does...

I absolutely love my job.

But, the last two days have been tough. Moving and filling in for the amazing Jenny Fines, Mountain FM’s drive host has been a deadly combination. But, it is over now (thank goodness). I liked doing Jenny’s show, but I LOVE my own show. All you listeners from 10am to 2pm I think of you like my children, I am so excited to be giving you my full attention again starting Tuesday. I think you can tell just how tired I am by the bags under my eyes in that photo.

One cool perk of taking over Jenny’s show while she was away was getting to do her ‘Paws and Claws’ segment with our local SPCA. Boy was it fun! Thank goodness I do not do it every week; I would have a house full of animals. Today’s feature was on Rocky a two year old cat who has suffered from head trauma; it was hard to see him leave after only knowing him for about half an hour. He is such a nice, unique cat; I hope he finds an amazing home. From the moment he was let out he was cuddling me, it was such an amazing feeling!

As much fun as it was, I am so happy to be back on the four hour show track starting tomorrow. I much prefer a sprint over a marathon!
