Yahk-tastic
On Thursday, February 9, CBC television host George Stroumboulopoulos and a crew of 15 to 20 people from CBC’s The Hour will be airing a live broadcast from Yahk, B.C.

“I’m so excited about this,” said One Red Paperclip trader Kyle MacDonald in a recent posting on his blog. “Finally, the hypnotic spell George Stroumboulopoulos put me under will be broken and a trade can finally take place in Yahk.”

Chili-icious
Yahk resident Penny A. P. Anderson is helping to organize the event and said the town is planning a big chili cookout to coincide with the CBC broadcast for all who attend.

“It’s really going to be great and we’re so excited to have George Stroumboulopoulos come to our community,” said Anderson.

So if you happen to be around Yahk, B.C., on Thursday, February 9, you might want to stop and see MacDonald, Stroumboulopoulos and the CBC, because, man, it’s going to be fun!
