Tomorrow is day 3 of our 10 days of vending at the 2009 World Police and Fire Games at the Burnaby Lake Athlete’s Village on Kensington and Joe Sakic Way in Burnaby.
It’s been very hot the last 2 days. Crowds are still quite light as the games are just getting started. Today was busier than Saturday. Soccer started in full force with 35 games played today. Hockey also started today and both 8 Rinks and the Bill Copeland Arenas were busy. With over 10,000 athletes here in the Lower Mainland, it’s a very exciting place to be.
Today we chatted with some very nice firefighters from Trinidad and Tobago, some folks from Australia, a lovely lady from Newport Beach, CA, ladies from Holland and we caught a glimpse of the Swedish hockey team. Tomorrow will be a very fun day as we’ve created some promotional fliers and the girls are going be out handing them out and seeing how many photos they can collect.
We also hand fun by creating a contest for passersby. We played Toss the Rocks! Toss a Diva Diamondz and if it lands completely on the square we’ve created on the asphalt, you win your choice of Diva Diamondz, Gentlemen Gems or a Bill Reid print courtesy of Metropolis, Metrotown, our neighbours. Between our game and handing out Freezies to people passing, we were able to draw people to the booth and create some conversation.
We are looking to have a great day tomorrow and will update our twitter page and this blog as the week goes on.
