The show itself was lots of fun; tons of free food to sample, free swag to score, and coupons to snag. But there were a surprising amount of events going on too.
The had a test kitchen set up out of nowhere, which was cool. And they cooked up all sorts of stuff there, mostly of the organic and vegan variety since this was the Green Living Show and all.
There was also a bit of a mayoral debate there. Bored me to tears, these uninspiring men. I have no clue who I'm going to vote for.
Anyway, the best part of the show? I got to see and meet Clara Hughes! (For you unpatriotic plebeians, she's pretty much Canada's best female athlete. She's won multiple Olympics medals in both cycling AND speed skating.)
In that last picture, she's totally holding all of her Olympic medals ever, hahaha! She gave a lovely speech about finding balance in her life and career through humanitarian efforts, it was quite nice. After the speech it was time to line up for her autograph and get a picture with her. There were a couple of families right in front of us with young and aspiring speed skater children and it was cool to see Clara praise them and give them encouragement.
Then it was our chance!
DUDE I TOTALLY HELD HER BRONZE MEDAL FROM VANCOUVER. :DDDDDDDDD
This is going right inside my MacClean's with Virtue & Moir in the cover, yes indeed. :)
