This Friday (August 16th) morning, KRUZ FM will be hosting a yard sale outside of the studio at the corner of King and George Streets. You'll find gems from some of our fine local folks that have so generously donated to the event, with all money raised going straight to Corus Feeds Kids. Come on down for some live entertainment and good times—the festivities will get underway about 7:30 a.m and runs until 9:30 a.m. Don't forget your wallet...there are some amazing items you're not going to want to slip through your fingers. PTBOCanada.com has already made a $100 cash donation to get the ball rolling for this great cause. If you think you might have something that you'd like to donate, please email Julie Morris to arrange for pick-up!

Jackie DeKnock Creates Culinary Retreat "Gourmet Safari" Near Peterborough

Jackie gets help from Kruz FM's Catherine Hanrahan, who fluffs the rice. Photo: Julie MorrisJackie DeKnock and her husband Dan have set up a culinary retreat just outside of Peterborough in Mount Pleasant called Gourmet Safari. PtboCanada was there yesterday as part of a kind of culinary workshop organized by Kruz FM's Catherine Hanrahan. Jackie's growing business is coming together as a bed and breakfast and kitchen "studio" with hands-on cooking lessons.
The focus is on global cuisine, as Jackie has travelled the world during her last job at British Airways. Cooking and traveling are her two passions, so she took cooking classes and also learned about the importance of nutritional values.
Jackie started her business by teaching cooking for two little girls, then moved on to men's cooking classes. She then added group classes, a Tapas birthday party and a couple's cooking class (they enjoyed it so much that they want to come back monthly).
There are a few spots left in Jackie's March Break Children's Cooking Camp, where kids explore culinary delights from the likes of Italy, Greece, Thailand, Mexico and Egypt.
