On paper, it’s shaping up to be a 48-hour stretch chock-full of events. I’m working all weekend and looking forward to two days of fun.
The Lloydminster Bobcats play their final two regular-season home games Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. at the Cenovus Energy Hub. The ’Cats host the Calgary Canucks on Friday and the Olds Grizzlys on Saturday, the final day of the ACAC men’s basketball championship at Lakeland College, which started yesterday.
The annual Todd Gustavson Memorial Battle of the Badges charity hockey game between the Lloydminster RCMP and Lloydminster Fire Rescue begins at 12:30 p.m. Saturday at the Hub. Admission is by donation or non-perishable food items. Proceeds and donations will benefit Inclusion Lloydminster, The Olive Tree and The Salvation Army.
Over at the Lloyd Ex, the Border City Card Show is set to fill the WLS Convention Centre on Saturday, while the Prairie United Kennel Club Dog Show and the Progress Steer and Heifer Show take over the north side of the building.
If you’re a gym-goer, Supplement World is hosting a grand opening at its new Lloydminster location at 1804 50 Ave. this weekend. I’m looking forward to trying one of its 40 smoothie flavours.
The fifth annual Marshall Snow Kings sled rally is also scheduled for Saturday at the Marshall Three Links Hall.
My dad is also visiting from Camrose and is excited to tag along on everything I’m covering.
When I was young, my dad was a photographer for the Windsor Star and used to take me to Detroit Red Wings games, among other events, when the schedule allowed.
We may not be getting up close and personal with the likes of Steve Yzerman and Darren McCarty this weekend, but I’m excited to show him the Hub and how we do things in Lloydminster.
I hope everyone has a great weekend!
