Quinte West BOOFEST......

I LOVE Hallowe'en! It's only a few days away now. Oooooooh! If you or anyone you know are looking for a safe place to take kids trick or treating, bring them to Quinte West BOOFEST at the Duncan MacDonald Community Gardens Arena in Trenton. There will be tons of candy, a pumpkin carving contest, games and a giant inflatable slide. There is even a free public skate from 7:00 until 8:00 p.m.
You may even see me.... I'm helping with one of the games. I won't tell you which one though.....mwahahahahah.
Hope to "scare" you there.........
BOO!


Happy Hallowe'en

Loyalist College PR Trip To Toronto

October 6..... Loyalist PR takes on Toronto!! What a day!! It all began at 6:30 a.m (ugh) when everyone piled onto the bus, still half asleep, some with their Tim Horton's in hand.
First stop was Steam Whistle Brewery where we got the inside scoop about the Brewery, how it all began, the Brand that is Steam Whistle, and where they are headed.
Lunch, then off to Royal Bank of Canada for the behind the scenes story of the Olypic Torch run. It was awesome, and very moving. I think we were all feeling pretty inspired. We even had a visit from a strange random man who insisted on showing us his VERY LOUD video of his daughter and her torch story. LOL
If that weren't enough, we also got to attend the taping of the George Strombo show at CBC and meet him after for photo ops! His guest was Jeremy Hotz, who by the way, is hysterical.....
All in all, it was a great day. We got to talk to each other and hang out with people we haven't spent much time with yet. It brought us all a little closer together, and we had a blast.
Hope to do it again soon!

Marshman Jeweller's & United Way!!

Hello all.......
Did anyone make it to the 25th anniversary of Marshman Jewellers? I DID!! Last night at the Quinte Mall Marshman's held a fundraising event for United Way of Quinte (in honour of Marshman's 25th Anniversary). It was awesome! There were silent auctions for cool stuff that had been donated (including jewellry), door prizes, raffle draws, food, a chocolate fountain, music, and wine and champaigne!! 2 lucky people even won a cruise!! No, alas, I was not one of them. I did however indulge in a glass of champaigne......... 100 glasses only were sold....every glass came with a pair of cubic zirconia earrings, and one lucky gal won a pair of real diamond earrings with hers. Guess we should have had a few more glasses, lol.
It was a great event and a fun night. I bought a few tickets for the BIG prize raffle too.....a platnum & diamond pendant worth over $8000. The winner will be announced today.....I am expecting that call very soon....lol  :)
Another cool thing about the night was that Julia Gossen from the United Way was there as well, so I got to speak with her for a moment. Very nice lady. We just met Julie a couple of weeks ago when she came to our Public Relations class at Loyalist College to speak to us about running our own fundraising event for the United Way.
Well, all in all it was a lot of fun and good to see people coming out to support a great cause. I better go.....I need to be available for the "winning" phone call.... I think I here the phone ringing....lol.......
