Jan. 18 was ‘Blue Monday’ — supposedly the most depressing day of the year — so the HUB Online Network cheered things up by giving away free hamburgers and fries at Sam’s Diner in Ashcroft, thanks to Community Initiatives funding from the BC Problem and Responsible Gambling program and the South Cariboo E. Fry Society.

In all, 78 burgers were given away, making Jan. 16 far from blue for some lucky people.
