We started out early, heading to lunch downtown around 1:00 We stopped at Cherry Bomb Grill, which features a large list of local beers. For All Star weekend, they have Bud and Bud Light on special for $2.50.
We slowly made our way to the Raleigh Convention Center for the NHL Fan Fair, taking pics along the way and enjoying our city from a tourist's perspective. The line to get into the NHL Fan Fair was MASSIVE, but went pretty quickly once the doors opened. I LOVED the Guardian Project hall that we entered through. It was difficult to get good pictures though.
My husband is an avid hockey card collector,so we spent a chunk of time at the card and memorabilia booths. If you are going to the Fan Fair today, Taylor Hall will be signing autographs at the Panini Booth around 12:30 and at the Upper Deck booth around 2:00 PM.
After getting our pictures taken with the Stanley Cup, we tried out our hockey skills - which are sorely lacking, but it was fun anyway! I actually scored 1 goal on "Marty Brodeur"!
We were not lucky enough to be among the "chosen ones" see see the Fantasy Draft, but we stuck around and watched it on the big screens.
Today, we plan on checking out the vendors and entertainment on Fayetteville Street before heading to the RBC Center for the Red Carpet and the Skills Competition. Beer Garden, Roller Derby and rod Brind'Amour: Here we come!
