Vulcan re-branding clip on CBC

The following is a news clip from CBC that aired on October 29, 2012 regarding Vulcan's re-branding. It is an interesting story and I have been following it for a while. It seemed like just a crazy dream, but as time goes by, it looks like more promising on coming true!

In like a .....snow storm!

Old man winter rolled into Vulcan this past week and welcomed us all to the season! We all knew the storm was coming and, yes, the weather guy got it right - we got a dump of snow! Talking with a local RCMP member, the snow plows were out at 2am, clearing the highways, laying down whatever they lay down to make it not so icy. The morning of the snowfall was a little quiet to begin with, but as the day wore on, people were out with their shovels and snow blowers, pushing the white stuff away. Some people did have a "snow day", but I still saw many businesses carrying on with life. I know I showed one property in the afternoon (thanks to the tenants there who shoveled the sidewalk!), and caught up on paperwork throughout the day. And yes, I got the snow blower hooked up to the garden tractor and felt like a man as I bulldozed my way through the drifts and conquored what I would have otherwise had to have shoveled! Yep, chalk one up for the good guys! Wrote up an offer last night, and I need to set up some showings for the coming week. Nice to see things still happening as we get closer to the holiday season where things historically slow down. Then again, I did not win the lottery AGAIN last night, so my theories are out the door!

Vulcan's 100th Anniversary Gala and Dinner

Thumbs up to past and present residents of the Town of Vulcan! Last night there was a dinner and auction to raise money for Vulcan's 100th Birthday Celebration and Community Improvements. The dinner was sold out (fantastic food I must say!), and people did not sit on their hands for the auction. There must be a huge shout out to all of the sponsors as there was a huge selection of items to bid on. Among the items auctioned were a trip to London, Trip to Vegas, 4WD John Deer Gator, and much more. This number is not official, but the preliminary numbers announced were $99,500 raised through the auction and another $30,000+ raised from sponsors! Well done Vulcan!
