So we started this blog all about Peterborough in May. And it's been fun. Really fun. Peterborough, you rock. In one long run-on sentence, here's some of the stuff we've covered since we launched about 8 months ago:
We've covered the life of a Peterborough ER doctor, Jake's closure, The International Dragon Boat Festival, Reggie's HotGrill, a smoking dude on a bike during the gas leak, Have You Seen Video..., a rock star of posters, a guy who draws, a mural man, the Christmas Parade, the Canada Day Parade, the Arkells at the Red Dog, happy people, people lying down, an anti-bullying event, a breakfast program, a zombie crawl, a yarn shop, a snow sculpture, an email that was the talk of the mayoral race, the YWCA shelter, a cheesy store, a book store, a person who misses Peterborough, the CIBC Run for the Cure, a dude who called on a wrestler in the Memorial Centre parking lot, awesome bands, the Peterborough Folk Festival, Focus Fair, 3 Loonie event, the Old Stone Symphony, Dean Del Mastro yearbook pics, Jay Scotland and Lois Tuffin taking a dip, beaches, bars & restaurants, Peterborough Square in 1987, Sarah Harmer at the Gordon Best, Twitterborough, and a BIG garage sale.

Peterborough High Schools Can Enter Contest To Have Down With Webster Play Your Prom
/High school students in the Patch have the chance to compete in a provincewide contest to have Down With Webster perform at their spring prom. The band will perform a concert in June for the Ontario high school that wins the new online contest College Sounds Great.
The contest encourages students to describe why college education is an excellent postsecondary option, and the Top 10 high schools with the largest share of entries will be finalists for the winning concert. "This is an exciting way to get high school students in our community thinking about postsecondary education," says Fleming College President Tony Tilly.
Students can enter the contest by submitting a photo and a 50 to 250 word paragraph, or by making a video, explaining why “college sounds great" to them.
In the meantime, rock out to Down With Webster's "Your Man" here:
