…but our entry in the “Decorate for Canada Day” contest at Nickle Lake actually inspired the judges to add and award a second place prize (hat *and* t-shirt, baby!) after they couldn’t decide between ours and the people who ended up winning first place (folding chair *and* folding table).
A couple subtle notes about our display…
* red and white lights wrapped around the tree on the left
* Sasha’s Paw Patrol chair behind the table (show invented in Canada)
* hockey, lacrosse and basketball in front of van make sense but golf? Well, if you label it with “Graham DeLaet – Canada’s Greatest Golfer” as a blatant suck-up to Weyburn area judges!
Oh, and most common question from people walking by our site? “Are you a teacher?” 🙂 (I not only had an array of Canada-themed books *and* a tri-fold display but also a “Name The Famous Canadian” quiz.)
And finally, I think the big reason we didn’t take first place? I completely forgot my secret weapon – I was planning to blast Stompin’ Tom Connors when the judges came by!
