Today was an interesting day. We actually had someone riding shotgun.
Paul Duque, our website specialist and group ticket expert, brought along his camera to record Day 5 of the 2010 Ticket Tour for an upcoming webisode and got a good glimpse of the Scurfield/Dovercourt business section of our fair city.
The morning began, solo, with a meeting at the Academy of Broadcasting Corporation, one of our newest partners, and a company that will be well-represented at the ballpark this summer. On our way to the meeting, we dropped in on a very nice young woman at the Cadillac Fairview office at Polo Park, who said she’d pass our ticket package on to shopping centre GM Deborah Green.
Then it was off to Scurfield with Duke and a chance to both meet and reacquaint ourselves with some terrific people.
On the way, we stopped in at Wildwood Motorsports on Pembina Highway. What a tremendous store. We’re hoping owner Paul Germain is a baseball fan.
Then we met Doug Cooke and Fred Arnold at ABB, a leader in power and automation technologies. They were great guys who, I’m hoping, will join me at the park this summer.
We then popped in at Thomas Design Builders, Anthony Allan Office Furniture, Johnson Controls and the operations office of Academy Florists, where it was great to see Kathy Lanthier again after a lot of years. Kathy was once the marketing and sales director at the Viscount Gort, but looks good as the marketing director at one of the city’s largest florists. We had a great chat. It was nice to catch up.
Then we went over and met Brian Shirtliffe, the sales and marketing manager at CWS Logistics. He was a great guy who sounded like a bit of a baseball fan and I figure I’ll get a call from him as the weather gets warmer.
Finally, we stopped in at a place that has always fascinated me, simply because it’s located right beside our television partners at Shaw. Apotex Fermentation Inc., according to its website, “provides contract services in research, process development, scale up and manufacturing of fermentation based pharmaceutical products.” I have to admit, this Tour is teaching me a lot.
I met briefly with a very busy executive assistant named Donna Pinarski who asked a number of great questions and really had a good grasp of Goldeyes baseball. I suspect we’ll see some Apotex folks in the park this year.
Tomorrow is Day 6, an extremely busy day. We now have 56 business cards in our draw for that beautiful framed Swiderek print.
