There were many tree-lightings happening throughout the valley, and I had a chance to take in the Town of Kentville's festivities! Here you see Santa himself posing with some fellow Misfits and their offspring...I asked Santa if my new Britney Spears CD was in his bag, he said it was waiting for me at the mall...what does that mean?
...here you see some random people trying to break into the Magic 94.9 cruiser...oh, wait a minute...no...for a second I thought that was the Evil Dr. Cortland in the back, but I don't think so...well maybe...I heard he WAS a ladies man.Friday night I returned to the County Fair Mall, with $10,000 more reasons to shop there with a live remote. Another lucky winner won the weekly draw for a fantastic sparkling gift from Charm.
Then Saturday was in one word...AWESOME. It was the 2008 Acadia Robotics Competitions! Elementary and High School students from as far away as No-idea-where-it-is-ville, Nova Scotia invaded War Memorial Gymnasium for Some First Lego League robotic wickedness. I mean you won respect, a Lego trophy, prizes from the University and Michelin...not to mention a lovely meal card that was fully stocked with pizza credits. I tried to trade a kid a slightly used pen for one, but he was too smart for me...of course he was...he programs robots and I still can't even program my VCR to tape Oprah. The day was a long one, but at the end of it all, everyone felt rewarded and it was a great success and joy to be a part of it!
...well until next time...I feel the need to go play with my Lego.
