#LocalLegendsStories is brought to you this week by pro wrestler, local celebrity, and all around great guy "Kowboy" Mike Hughes. He's done so much work to raise funds for Island charities and we're proud to be able to feature his story. Thanks Mike!"I was born and raised in Stratford, PEI. The saying "It takes a community to raise a child" must have been born on Prince Edward Island because that statement couldn't be any more true. Everyone knew their neighbours and helped out with whatever the chore of the season was. Whether it was cutting and piling wood, helping clean my uncle's...

It's that time of the week again! Maybe our favorite time of the week if we're being honest! :D#LocalLegendsStories"My name is Qeturah Baglole, and I'm an Islander..... or am I? It's a question that I've honestly asked myself for decades. At first glance, sure, I look the part - with red hair, fair skin, and freckles. I've even got a bit of an Island twang (or so I've been told). But then, of course, we get to the name part, and as everyone knows, a true islander can always be sniffed out if they know who yer father is!Now don't let the...

Time for this week's edition of#LocalLegendsStories! The New HOT 105.5 'sLaura Woodworth shares her journey to PEI, and it could easily be a Tourism PEI advertisement - Thanks Laura!"I'm originally from Newfoundland, and I first came to PEI back in 2010 to study nutrition at UPEI. I didn't really get the proper PEI experience the first time around. I loved UPEI - it's a great school with a beautiful campus - but I didn't venture very far beyond the school grounds or explore anything else that the island has to offer. I have been back and forth between PEI and Newfoundland since then, spent...

Friday means #LocalLegendsStories time! This week, Terrence Taylor of The TnT Food Experienceshares his story about moving to PEI and starting his own small business. Such a fantastic idea, thanks again Terrence!"My name is Terrence Taylor and I moved to Charlottetown, PEI in July of 2015. I moved here from Halifax to begin my dream of helping inspire and influence the world to live more positive lives by engaging in more active and healthy lifestyles. Through those thoughts came The TnT Food Experience. TnT started as a healthy meal delivery company that delivers healthy and creative meals to Islanders looking to ditch the fast food...

It's that time of the week! This edition of#LocalLegendsStories features one of our very own! Check out Aidan's adventure to the Island!"If we're starting from the beginning, my first PEI experiences happened on family trips with my dad, step-mom, and siblings. We did all of the typical Cavendish things: Spoke to the talking tree at Rainbow Valley, went to the beach, and visited Avonlea Village. It was a blast!The first time I thought about moving here, however, was in January of 2011. "Kowboy" Mike Hughes was holding a wrestling tryout for a chance to win free training, and at the time...
