Looking for some value “bang for your buck…, with some live hockey and a chance to score some autographs and memorabilia? Look no further than the greater Ottawa area in under two weeks time…
“What event does he speak of?… you might ask? Were you actually to utter those words, or something similar to it, I might respond with “The Ottawa Senators Fan Fest!…
Want a date? YOU GOT IT!!! Sunday, September 17th…
You need a start time? The clock on the wall says nine of the A.M. for opening of the gates. Last call? Make that 5pm, giving you a solid eight hours of fairly fine fan fest family fun…
The big question? What’s the financial hit to get through the door? How does $10 in advance, $15 at the door sound to you? Oh, but I hear what you’re thinking! “They let me in for cheap, but it’s the PARKING that gets ya!!!… Wrong. Free parking for the day. No fleecing here…
Pretty easy $10 too $15 pill to swallow considering:
1) All proceeds are in support of the Ottawa Senators Foundation and Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities;
and
2) There’s only a million things going down that this minor investment gets you in on, including:
a. A scratch and win ticket upon entry allowing potential access to exclusive autograph signings, as well as for a variety of prizes from the Sens, Canadian Tire, and other participating partners;
b. Autograph sessions throughout the day (check out the website for the autograph session wristband policy; link below);
c. Access to red and white team practices and an intra-squad practice scrimmage;
d. Various fan press conferences with the players and staff, including a “kids only… event so the “yung-uns… can get some dedicated mic time;
e. A variety of interactive games and activities for the kids;
f. A locker room sale including new and used team equipment if getting on the game-used game is your thing…
So there you have it folks! A primo-bargain day for some fun with the family and an opportunity to cash in on some prime collectibles opportunities. Best part; It’s all in the name of some good causes. So keep your eyes peeled! All the necessary info, and the schedule for the day, is available at the Fan Fest website, so be sure to check it out so you can plan your day! Enjoy!
