In accordance with provincial government regulations, proof of full vaccination will be required to enter. Check the website to reserve your seats here.

There are two vaccination clinics in Chatham-Kent today.

Anyone 12 and older is welcome at the clinics. Walk-ins are welcome at all clinics, but if you’re looking to schedule an appointment for a confirmed time book online at GetYourShotCK.ca or by calling 519-351-1010.

It’s Pizza for Polio Day.

Organized by the Rotary Club of Chatham, this is the 7th year for the fundraiser. The Rotary Club of Tilbury joined in last year and returns this year.

Any pizza ordered today from the participating restaurants, takeout or delivery, will see a portion of sales being donated back to the Rotary Club to help eradicate polio worldwide.

Participating Chatham-Kent pizzerias are Andy’s Place, Boston Pizza, Konstantino’s, Mike’s Place, Original 2 Pizza, Pizza Tonite, Pie-Zano’s and Steve’s Pizzeria.

The Salvation Army of Chatham-Kent‘s Operation Cover Up is in the collection stage.

Until Friday, you can drop off new and gently-used winter coats – specifically children and plus sized are needed. Coats can be dropped at Salvation Army locations in Chatham, Wallaceburg and Ridgetown and Jiffy Lube on Keil Drive.

Coats will be distributed to those that need them beginning Monday, October 25th.

The Fisher-Price Chatter Telephone is celebrating its 60th anniversary.

So Fisher-Price is giving it an upgrade, they’re selling a new Bluetooth version that can make actual phone calls.

The toy will pair with your smartphone and your kids can use it to make actual calls on.

It’s still got the classic rotary dial that spins around and a man’s voice says each digit out loud when you dial, so you can learn your numbers.

You can pre-order them at BestBuy.com for $60. Fisher-Price is still selling the normal, non-Bluetooth kids’ version for $10. But with that one, you’ll have to go back to just pretending you’re on the phone.

Give your childhood a call with the special edition Fisher-Price® Chatter Telephone™ with Bluetooth® wireless technology. Smartphone required. Only at @BestBuy: https://t.co/bwi1eJo7a2 pic.twitter.com/xPi8g17NB5
