I'm Back

Sorry to have been away for this for a while but things have been rather busy as of late. I will try to give you a summary of things that have happened over the past two weeks. To start with, Chris and I along with Russ Nicks of whale watching fame and Ron of Eagle Eye along with Sean our university student and finally Sarah from the municipal office traveled to Vancouver a couple of weekends ago where we set up the Sooke Booth at the Vancouver Outdoor and Adventure Show. This seemed to be a very popular show as there were thousands of people in attendance, many of whom stopped by the Sooke Booth to visit, talk or find out what was going on. I would have to say it was a huge success. The booth received many compliments and we were invited to take it to several other shows including Tradex at Abbotsford, Calgary and even Toronto. Guess we will have to wait and see on those. With some new refinements, we have cut down construction time to only about 6 or 7 hours now, but it still takes upwards of 4 or 5 hours to dismantle and put away. Many District of Sooke employees got to find out just how much work it is as we set it up again at the Rotary Auction this past weekend. Again, many good reviews as well as finding another use for the "Boardwalk" - It makes a great stage - who knew? Anyway, it is now safely packed away until the next show - whereever that may be.
