  2. It’s Movie Night at the Capitol. Come by the Chatham Capitol Theatre tonight at 7 to see Top Gun. Tickets are $5 cash at the door. Everyone is welcome, concessions are available.
  3. The Humboldt Broncos open their season tonight in front of a sold-out hometown crowd. The game will be broadcast on TSN, commercial free. The opponent is the Nipawin Hawks, the same Saskatchewan junior A hockey team the Broncos were on their way to play April 6th when their bus and tractor-trailer collided at a rural intersection. Sixteen people, including 10 players, were killed and 13 players were injured. Only two of the survivors, are back on the team this season. On Friday, the team is to hit the road for a rematch in Nipawin. The pregame is at 7:30, puck drop at 8:30.
  4. Come November, Amazon will begin selling full-size trees, which will ship to customers within 10 days of being cut. Buyers will be able to pick between Douglas firs, Norfolk Island pines, and other options. A seven-foot Fraser fir (sourced from a North Carolina farm) will go for $115. The trees will ship in a large box, but Amazon isn’t including water or anything extra in there. Amazon actually sold smaller live Christmas trees in 2017, but this marks the first time the online retail giant will offer full-sized trees.
