THE GIANT TURKEY GIVE AWAY AND ACADIA CHARITY HOCKEY

What a day! Fist the Show from 5:30-10, then 2 hours in a helicopter flying around the Annapolis Valley looking for a place to land to give away 50 fresh turkeys! After that it was back to the station to finish office work, then to 14 Wing Greenwood to MC a charity hockey game between the 14 Wing Bombers and the Acadia Axemen hockey team. The Wing raised money for their combined charities and the Centennial of flight celebration. Thanks for having me out!
My friend Alysa, the youngest and smallest goaltender in Kentville minor hockey. She is fun to watch! She is the daughter of my buddy Jason. I hope she has more hockey sense than him, he's a leaf's fan!
