First off it's the BC Provincial Motocross Championships. Practice sessions run today, with racing beginning Saturday and Sunday at 10am out at The Alberni Motocross Park. There will even be live entertainment out there Saturday night with Mr. 2cents rocking the place.
All the information you could need is on the fantastic Alberni Motocross Association website
I'll be LIVE ON LOCATION for 93.3 THE PEAK FM out at the Park pumping up the event from 1 to 5pm today. It will be LOUD and I can't wait!

This weekend is also a huge one for the Alberni Golf Club, as they host the 14th annual Charity Golf Classic with the wine and cheese festivities tonight, and the real action kicking off tomorrow with the golf. Or does the real action kick off tonight? HA.
This is always an incredible time, with various local and BC charities being the benefactors. You are welcome to head out to the course for the wine and cheese tonight or dinner and the party tomorrow night even if you aren't golfing. The more the merrier!
Got your eyes on a Wayne Gretzky signed jersey? How about one from Sidney Crosby? A Gordie Howe autographed Stanley Cup? They've got all that and more for the silent and live auction items.
Again, it's all at the ALBERNI GOLF CLUB. I'm golfing, so look out for me, you might want to bring a helmet!
Celebrities attending this year include Port Alberni's own Rob Schick, Mira Laurence from A Channel, "King" Richard Brodeur and more!
It will be a blast!
