Katy Perry & Elmo....too Hot for TV?

Katy Perry's appearance on Seasame Street this season is a little too risque for the show. This according to some parents, as PBS has received complaints sighting Katy's dress being too revealing. The dress in question appears during a song she sings with Elmo. Since receiving the complaints the clip has been pulled from Seasame Street broadcasts, but it's now racking up the views on Youtube. Watch it below:



Do you think Katy Perry's outfit is too revealing for Seasame Street?
I say no.....If it is, then put some pants on Elmo while you are at it!! This is ridiculous, some people have too much time on their hands! Agree?, Disagree? drop me a line HERE --Gilmore

Ladies & Gentlemen we have a winner!

Well the big day has arrived, we have a winner for B93's Back to School contest. Congratulations to Carly McKinnon. She won our huge prize pack courtesy of Wilson's Business Solutions. Read her story below in an early blog post. Right now is today's final prize qualifier. This story comes from Sara Jackson, here is what she did on summer vacation:

What I did on summer vacation . . .

School’s out and that means, camping trips! I’m so excited until, Dad changes plans . . . he decides he wants to build us a NEW cabin. While my Dad was working on the Cabin I decided to be a big help and drive lunch and snacks from the old cabin, to the new cabin, on our four wheeler, where my dad was working very, very hard!

My Dad sometimes would take a break to bring my sister and her friends and I tubing and swimming. Sometimes if he couldn’t leave my Papa would take us. Also, my Papa would bring us on his big boat to Sha Sha Resort with my whole family.

My Dad decided to take a break from building. So, we decided to go to Hinckley and camp at the Grand Casino. All of our friends were there so, we had lots of fun! Of course I don’t gamble so thankfully there were three pools and an arcade for us kids to go to.

We went camping in Hinckley again. This time my Mom pulled the trailer all by herself with me in the passenger’s seat. My Mom stressed a little but, after we were hooked and leveled, she got to relax for three days! I did lots of swimming this trip as usual!!

Time for school again, wow, time really does go by fast when you’re having fun!
Thank you, B93 for taking time to read my essay.

The Big Draw is Almost Here!

B93's Back to School Contest wraps up tomorrow. Just one more grandprize qualifier will be drawn, listen tomorrow morning to see if it's your Summer Vacation story! Today's story was submitted by Connor & Carleigh Bates. New to the area, their summer story below talks about moving to Fort Frances, enjoy:

It was July 7th, the U-Haul was loaded, the dog, who had never left home, was clueless, all of the goodbyes were said, tears were flowing, and we were off on an adventure of a lifetime. From the deserts of Nevada, Reno to be exact, through Idaho, Montana, North Dakota, and Minnesota, we arrived in Fort Frances, Ontario - our future home.

With "Canada Dan" leading the way, mom, Carleigh, the barfy dog (Gilmore Note: I think/hope they meant barky, yikes!), and myself, we drove to Bear Pass to our lake home. For the next month or so, we swam, tubed, fished, boated, met lots of friendly people, and unpacked a bit, although our house is still full of boxes.

The dog has adjusted pretty well, but she likes to explore Canada on her own for hours at a time. As for my sister and I, we also have adjusted to life in Canada. We love to swim and I like living in the wilderness. We've seen two bears, some deer, and a bunch of rabbits and squirrels. We have a large garden filled with fresh fruits, vegetables, and some herbs, which I think is very neat too.

So, what did we do on our summer vacation - we moved from a busy, bustling city in the USA to a quiet little town in Canada and we love it!

Back 2 School, Back 2 Work after Labour Day

Hope you had an excellent long weekend! I know it's a short week, but it's another busy one here in the area. Back to School for students in Minnesota!, The Blood Donor Clinic is on in Fort Frances (Wed & Thurs at the High School), & at B93 we do the grandprize draw for our Back to School contest this week. Below is our latest qualifying story. It's from Maria Gilbert

Splash! Was the sound of the crashing waves tumbling me and my best friend into the wave pool at Noah's Ark Water park. My family and I were taking a vacation to Wisconsin Dells Minnesota.

My brother Bryce and I each brought a friend. I'm not a big ride person. Usually I'll get sick if I go on rides. And trust me, it's not pretty!!!! Anyways, Bryce and Cameron (the friend he brought) went on a ride called the Scorpions Tale. It drops 50 ft per second. I know that's crazy! Once they got off the ride they both looked a little dizzy but let's face it, I didn't really care.

Time passed and it was getting time for some lunch, but Jenna and I wanted to go on just one more ride... the Sting Ray!! The Sting Ray was a ride where it looked like a sting ray curled up into a big U shape. Jenna was crazy about the ride but from the looks of it I wasn't so fussy on it. I just had to go on. Maybe I'd get over my fear of rides? So we grabbed a 2 person tube and got into the line up.

The line took only about 5 minutes. When it came to our turn I suddenly got the butterflies, bad. Jenna and I both hopped into the tube and the life guard gave us a push. My eyes flew right open and my mouth just dropped. It was the wildest ride in my life! As the day went on we continued to yell and scream on rides and this trip was the highlight of my summer!!!

Our friends Jenna and Cameron had a blast and so did we. Wisconsin Dells was a trip to remember.

Maria Gilbert


Congrats to Maria, she's in for Thursday's draw!... Thoughts?, ideas?, great recipe for fruit cake? (yeah, as if they exist :-P) drop me a line about anything HERE --Gilmore

Another Back to School grandprize qualifier!

If you missed it this morning, the brother & sister duo of Graham and Rachel Anderson are the latest grandprize qualifiers for B93's Back to School contest. Here's their "What did you do on your Summer Vacation" story:

Our Summer Vacation by Graham and Rachel Anderson.

The summer started off great with our annual BBQ on July 1st at Pither's Point Park. The rain had stopped the day before leaving huge puddles to run and play in at the park. Then when it was dark, we sat at the ball park right under the fireworks and celebrated our country's birthday along with the start of a great summer. Later in July we went to Duluth to see the Air Show, it was awesome! There were over 5000 people there and it was HOT!

August was a busy month with a 5 day camping trip to north of Atikokan. We both came home with alot of mosquito bites and a few other bugs we didn't want, but it was great fun! We also did alot of fishing on great ol Rainy Lake. My dad found a great fishing hot spot that he marked on his graf so all we had to do was go right to the spot and start fishing! Also we went sailing with friends of ours on a sail boat and that was great fun.!

At the end of August we got a new puppy. She is a yellow lab and her name is Ginger. We have been busy trying to train her and keep her from chewing everything in site. Yes we had a excellent summer vacation, but we missed our friends and are glad to be going back to school! (so are our parents we think)

Thank you for letting us tell you all about our summer vacation, it was fun to remember all the things we did!

Tune in tomorrow morning at 7:10 to find out our latest grandprize qualifier. Drop me a line HERE anytime -Gilmore

Back to School Summer Vacation Story Update

Congratulations to our latest grandprize qualifier Kenna Robertson for B93's Back to School contest. Asking "What did you do on your Summer Vacation" here is Kenna's story:

What I did this summer was me and my family went to London, On to visit family. We got to do a lot of fun things we went glow in the dark mini golfing and did tons of shopping too. We went to Niagara Falls and stayed at this big water park with one of those funnel slides and got to go up Clifton Hill and go in a fun house, Ripley’s believe it or not and on the big sky wheel with 42 carts! After we got back to London we had to get ready to leave in three days so we tried to fun while it lasted.

When we got back to Fort Frances I took two friends up to the cabin, we went tubing every single day me and a friends fell out paddling, not tubing paddling we just couldn’t believe it! We went fishing with a paddle boat it was so crowded we had 2 fishing rods, minnows, a net, bucket, and food. But never even caught any fish. I got to go to the Emo fair for the first time too. I went on the til-ta-wurl, swinging ship and the star ship 2000 about 10 times and also had the best time ever.

P.s. I don’t think i could have a better summer!! J By: Kenna Robertson
