🏃 Local Athletes Medal at Provincials + City Updates You Need to Know

Presented By

Gooood morning Bay of Quinte!

Someone once told me if you're late you better show up with a good excuse or a better joke. Here's a joke: Why don't scientists trust atoms? Because they make up everything, which coincidentally is exactly what I'm doing right now.

But seriously, while I was running behind schedule, our local athletes were running ahead of the competition at provincials. Plus we've got hydrant flushing that might turn your tap water rusty, so maybe skip the white laundry this week.

New location, same great taste
