COUNTDOWN TO KRAFT/TSN WEEKEND

We are within a few days of more celebration in Kaslo, this one marking Kaslo Logger Sports win over Williams Lake in the recent Kraft Community Celebration Contest. Here's the August 22nd schedule, and I hope you'll take part on the waterfront at Kaslo Bay Park. A fun-zone, sports zone and Kraft bull's eye barbecue with hamburgers, hot dogs, cold drinks (totally free) all start at 1:30pm; (a celebrity dunk tank is included so take your shots at local celeb's!)

MC Bruce Freeman will make the official welcome at 2 on the main stage, and will I am assured by a reliable source (his wife), offer up some of his well-known wit; Kaslo Logger Sports will receive a $25,000.00 cheque at 2:45pm, money which will be used for refurbishing and improving the existing Logger Sports location; the TSN SportsCentre live broadcast will commence at 3, with TSN's Darren Dutchyshen and Jennifer Hedger, and the whole shebang winds up at 4, just in time for local business people to reopen their shops for the remainder of the day; as an old media guy, this is the kind of national and international exposure you just can't buy, and it's ALL Kaslo. The theme for the picnic is Sporting Events and Kraft Foods. A flyer emailed to me urges participants to wear sports jerseys, logger clothes, or even dress up as a box of Kraft Dinner (an interesting concept). So, dress up, get up, make signs showing TSN and Kraft, and you too might wind up on national television! Wouldn't it be fun if both Ronnie and Teresa, restauranteurs of note, wound up on national television together, soaking wet? Ha ha, I love it.

Bring your lawn chairs; no pets, no alcohol and no parking past the Cenotaph. REMEMBER, IT IS ALL FREE!
