It seems that January wanted to be known for ice this year. We’re having yet another “snow day”, so if you’re coming to the library today, please take care. The steps are clear and the walkway is pretty good, but that parking lot is ICY!! And with snow in the forecast for this afternoon…………
They came and they Krafted
Our Hockeyville Kraft Night on January 24th was a HUGE success! We had lots of young crafters who were ready to get their hands dirty, and we were joined by a few fantastic team members from the Carleton Place Canadians!
We made some crazy goalie masks and everyone got to design their own hockey jersey as well! Our hockey players did a fantastic job helping the kids to create their “krafts”. No one went home without a handful of projects, including the hockey players themselves!
We’d love to thank the members of the Carleton Place Canadians who took an hour out of their schedules to come and be with us. Not only did they learn the kids’ names, they didn’t even hesitate to get out of their comfort zones and get creative with us! It was a very fun evening and we hope it’ll help towards our goal of making Carleton Place Kraft Hockeyville 2012!
A BIG thanks to Brodie Barrick, Shayne Morrissey, Luke Martin, Luke Edwards and Jessica Smith for helping us out. Go Carleton Place!
Tuesday is Hockeyville Kraft Night!
It’s a big day for us! We’re hosting our own little event in support of the Carleton Place bid to become Kraft Hockeyville! There’s only about another week left until all of the entries have to be in, so we’re looking forward to tonight so that we can finally post some great pictures to our town’s Kraft Hockeyville page! (If you haven’t signed up to be a member of our “team”, you can still visit the Kraft Hockeyville page and join us. The more members we have, the better.) And while you’re there, upload a few pictures or a story about your experiences with hockey in Carleton Place. We know there are tons of hockey moms and dads out there….show your support, and help us earn our way into the Kraft Hockeyville title!
But getting back to Hockey Kraft Night, we’ll be joined by several members of the Carleton Place Canadians! Yes, even hockey players like to do crafts, and they’ll be along to surprise our group of young crafters and help us make some wonderful items to take home. (Oh, and there might be cake……) We’ll have plenty of great photos to post later this week, and we’ll pop some video and stills onto the Kraft Hockeyville website to help boost our standings.
We’ll keep you posted!
Can you spell it?
For our Frivolous Friday post, we’ll visit a little topic that holds a special place in my heart…music! And in the spirit of spelling bees, we’re going to play a little game where you must identify the musical instrument that is spelled incorrectly. (No cheating….just take your time and see if you can figure out which one is spelled wrong.)
