We decided to skip out on another day of the Fan Fair so we'd have time to hit up the All Star Wide Open events. We got there just in time for the Paperhand Puppet parade, which was amazing and it was great to have some entertainment while standing in line to get Jeff Skinner's autograph. After meeting the "Rookie of the Year", we headed to the Beer Garden tent - we got to try 8 beers for $10 - including many local beers! My favorite of the day was Santa's Secret from Carolina Brewing Co. After all that boozing, we had to eat, so we tried Klausie's Pizza - which was DELICIOUS! This is one food truck that I plan to follow. If you haven't gotten a chance to try it, like their Facebook page so you know where they will be next!
We headed to the RBC Center for the Red Carpet arrivals of our guests of honor. Unfortunately, my short stature worked against me - I couldn't see anything. But, it was fun nonetheless!
I loved how light-hearted and fun the Skills Competition was. I was cheering for players I don't normally cheer for and it was great to see the players having a good time. I was surprised to see goaltenders Tim Thomas and Cam Ward in the skating competition! The highlight was seeing Zdeno Chara beat his own record in the hardest shot competition. Team Staal beat Team Lindstron handily 33-22. Looking forward to the game tonight!
Remember, if you need a place to watch the game, Lucky B's, Character's Quarters, Havana Deluxe, and Backyard Bistro will be open and will have the big game on TV!
