The 1st annual Febfest in Kingston was AWESOME! Erin and I saw the first four games of the 3-or-3 hockey tournament. The NHL players were awesome to see up close! Red Wings alumni like Paul Coffey and Wendel Clark in particular! YEAH! Go Wings Go!
Don Cherry was there of course!
The hockey was lots of fun and the crowd was huge, they estimated it at 30,000 people! The mayor committed to sponsoring this event again next year! Right on Big Harv!
Now Erin set us up to volunteer at the dinner later on in the evening for the Girls and Girls Club and it was so fun and exciting because many of the NHL players came to the dinner. It was great to see them up close, to talk to them and they freely gave autographs as well. I personally talked to Dale Hawerchuck, Doug Gilmour, Wendel Clark, Joe Cirella and Dave Ellett. Erin got autographs and spoke to Joe Niewendyk, Mike Keane and Kirk Muller as well! Erin was the “autograph bunny” actually. She rocks! We also got a free dinner out of the deal and saw part of the auction. Dinner with at Kirk Muller’s house went for $3,900! Wow!
Overall it was a great day that was capped off by Siobhan’s b-day party…lots of fun despite missing the poker game! Next time organizers have to start the game EARLIER!!!!! HAHA!
