SPRING HOME AND GARDEN FAIR A SUCCESS

Wow! what a Kick off, the first day of the annual AIRDRIE Home and Garden Fair held at the Twin Arenas in Airdrie Alberta was a Rip Roaring success. Everything was kicked off by a Stampede style Chuck Wagon Breakfast in the company of Royalty. The Calgary Stampede Queen and 2 Princesses,were present at the Breakfast, along with City, Provincial and Federal government dignitaries.

These were the Best Flap Jacks this writer has experienced at one of these outdoor breakfasts and by the size of my belt you can tell I've been to more than a few. ALI-OOP was there in good form , he's the mascot from The Scoop Newspaper, along with Al and Lois Jones the Proprietors of The Scoop, you should really advertise with these folks if you can they are wonderful business people to deal with.

The Calgary Stampede Board sent folks out to run the Breakfast and throw lariats around youngsters, Oh and then they'd Brand them. Don't worry it was an ink stamp, just so the parents wouldn't complain ;)

After a great breakfast and visiting with numerous Business Friends, Past, Present and Future customers , I went inside and took a look inside the Twin Arena's at the large number of exhibitors booths. You might have thought the tight economic times may have dissuaded some if the business people to save their shekels and stay home. Not in Airdrie business small and large were out with some truly fascinating Booth displays and everyone I spoke with was very positive about 2009 and where Airdrie is headed as a City in Alberta. There were booths covering ever aspect of business including a Fresh Pies being sold to support the Lioness Christmas Hamper and of course our Century 21 booth presided over this morning by Bonnie Wegerich our Broker and President of the Calgary Real Estate Board, and did I mention FRESH PIES, there goes that belt size again.

I had the opportunity to man our booth I the afternoon, what a blast, met tons of great Airdrie folks and even got a chance to do some magic for the local kids. We still have another full day of FUN and FRIVOLITY at the Annual Airdrie Home and Garden Fair, why not come out and join the fun, we re all looking forward to seeing you there.
