March 29: Taylor's Ticket Tour - Day 15

We’re getting close to the end of the 2010 Ticket Tour. April is right around the corner and before we know it, baseball will be upon us.

On Monday, we passed the 200 mark in our draw for that spectacular framed “Winnipeg Goldeyes” print by our very-talented friend Roman Swiderek. Someone will win it this week, so check out goldeyes.com to see whether you’re the lucky recipient of our gorgeous draw prize.

In the meantime, Day 15 was a busy one.

We started by visiting old friends Duane Penner at Road Trips Travel and Adam Gaiser at Mark’s Work Warehouse and then we took a ride down Dugald Road to meet some terrific people.

Stopped in at Transcona Trailer Sales and had a great conversation with Budd Bier, Travis Bromley and Evan Pepper. Travis already has his tickets in Section I, but Budd seemed really interested in joining us at the park this season.

We then had a visit with Devan Monette and Tyler Bromley (yes, Travis’s brother) at Rond’s Marine and followed that up by stopping in at GNR CampingWorld. We spent 10 or 15 minutes with Doug Kendel at GNR who said business this year was great.

“And that’s amazing when you consider all the recession talk,” he said. “We sell luxury items and it’s been very busy for us for quite awhile. You wouldn’t know there was a recession here.”

We stopped in at Genivar (“a global leader in consulting engineering”) and met with Joyce Hay, who promised to circulate the ticket package around the office, before dropping in at Dynamic Machine Corp. and leaving a package with Jason Price and Richard Weiss.

With that, we moved on to Ashland Chemical, where our great weather was the topic of conversation. Our final stop was at CDP Imaging, where we had a nice chat with company president Frank R. Mueller.

In all, it was a great Day 15 and we’re just about ready to draw our lucky prize winner.

Stay tuned.
