It’s always so cool to see the great @imboblayton1 and @Edmchopper doing their presentation around town…donating proceeds to local charities. That handsome devil on the big screen?

Yup…my Dad during his days at the (then) 630 CHED. #yegmedia

Merry Christmas!

They make a great Christmas idea for the book enthusiast on your list. The BBQ will be fired up so you can enjoy some incredible, tasty meats, as the Transit Smokehouse & BBQ has been voted the best barbecue restaurant in Edmonton. Come for a book and stay for the brisket!

Come on down to the Transit Smokehouse & BBQ on Fort Road and 66 Street this Saturday, November 29. From noon to 4 PM, I'll be there signing copies of my new book, The King of the Clouds. As a bonus, Bob Layton will be there signing his books as well. All books are $20.

It’s always very cool watching @BobLayton and @Edmchopper do their presentations to senior centres and it’s an absolute honour hearing them talk about the handsome gentleman on the screen that just happens to be my late Father @JerryForbesCntr @SantasAnonymous #yegmedia

[Bob Layton @imboblayton1]

Preparing now with Shane Blakely @Edmchopper for our next show at Devonshire Village. I was there before the pandemic and had a great time. I'll tell them stories and show slides and videos of what craziness went on behind the scenes at 630 CHED and much more.

Shane's book has 250 stories you may not know about Edmonton, like the Royal Throne at Commonwealth Stadium, where traffic circles came from, and the oldest working elevator still in use.
