As the official radio station of Acadia Athletics, the Magic 94.9 Subway Community Cruiser was proud to be a big part of Acadia's Homecoming 2008!
I along with Jo, who has taken over the cruiser from Jerry because she DOES have a valid driver's licence...(NS Liquor ID's don't count Neville)...took part in some Axemen hockey, as they proudly defended home ice with a win over St. Mary's at Acadia Arena. (They then went on the road to beat St. FX to gain national respect, placing #3 in CIS' Top-ten ranking!) It was great to see the 08-09 team, and the 08-09 Len Hawley who had a very busy off-season walking, strength-training and protecting the streets of Kentville, dropping 20 lbs in preparation for his vocal demands of providing the official "voice" of Acadia Hockey broadcasts on our sister station AVR's "March of Champions". Way to go Lenny-boy!!! (Wait a minute...who's going to buy the jelly donuts for the press box now?)
Saturday was fast upon us, and I met up with Jo and Magic 94.9's Maternal Account Manager Lisa Mitton at Willow Park to lineup for the Homecoming Parade. It was cold...not going to lie to you. C-O-L-D. Everyone was in great spirits and sporting the best oversized foam cowboy hats I'd seen since we found out who shot J.R.
We paraded through Main street, and made our way to Raymond Field, where the Axemen Football team would welcome friends and family of 14 Wing Greenwood, who demonstrated how to jump out of a plane and live. No seriously...the parachuters did an awesome job, and the crowd was treated to a very close Aurora fly-by...very close...like...I could see the Burger King Drive-thru sticker on its windshield-close. Impressive. Head coach Jeff Cummins couldn't get a win this season, but they sure provided some entertaining football, just couldn't get over the hump. Jo and I took over half-time with the pass-for-cash fun...Jo took some pictures and I'll post them soon!
This week brings another trip to Fraser's to tee-up Listen and Win...a stop at Leon's...and lunch at King's Arms pub. I know it's a tough job but somebody's gotta do it. ;)
