Some Dates To Watch For In The Coming Months

Well, one fall milestone is behind us, our first "wintery" storm.  There are a few more exciting things around the corner of Long Beach Radio and the West Coast.

October 6th: Canucks Regular Season opener against the Pittsburgh Penguins.  We'll have all your Canucks hockey action right here on Long Beach Radio.

October 8th: Geoff and MacKenzie (a local girl) will host an hour of requests from 2-3pm to support Variety Childern's Charity. Our friends at The Wildside Grill will be hosting a charity hotdog roast to coincide.  More about Variety can be found at http://www.variety.bc.ca/ listen to Long Beach Radio for MacKenzie's darn cute promo for the day.

October 14th: Release of The Big Year, some of which was filmed in the Tofino area last summer. I have no word on a local screening yet but if it happens we'll let you know. Also, They're filming some of the new Superman movie in Ucluelet over the next few weeks so we'll have another movie soon to watch for our neighbours in.


October 15,16th: The Queen of The Peak; a great home grown all-women's surf event. For further information, see facebook.com/queenofthepeak or contact Krissy at Surf Sister. Pre-registration is required, and competitors and spectators are asked to bike or carpool to all events. The website http://www.queenofthepeak.com/ should have new info soon as well.  We'll try to bring you some updates throughout the weekend. Here's a video someone whipped up from last year's event



October 17th: Carrie Ann gets back from her European tour.  About time too!

October 29th: Long Beach Radio and The Weigh West Marine Resort will host a Hallowe'en Bash!! Featuring rockin'-blues from Ross Neilsen and The Sufferin' Bastards (The same guys that played the Hallowe'en Party when Pete Devries won the O'Neill CWC in 2009), Prizes for costumes and more. Tickets will be $10 and available in a couple weeks. Here's a video from their performance at the East Coast Music Awards this year.

They're also no strangers to the West Coast having played out here on most of their previous 5 or so cross Canada tours. They even started doing hotel reviews they're here so often.



October 31st: Hallowe'en!!! Always a fun day on Long Beach Radio.... expect spooky and possibly irritating songs and sound effects all day.

There's a lot of fun coming up and this time of year is usually full of surprises.
