After we drew for the Heritage Classic tickets, Bud & Keith won.
I need to ask, why are we working so hard ?, after all WE JUST WON THE CALGARY HERALD " BEST OUTDOOR SKATING RINK IN CALGARY " CONTEST.
The answer is, we won because we never quit.
And because Kris' wife Lisa noticed the Herald was having a contest and told him to get after it.
