The Man Show

It was a tradeshow dedicated to everything men. Campers, RV's, ATV's, SUV's, food, beer, recreation, and yes, even a fashion show. Okay, some might say "Fashion show. That has nothin' ta do with men!" No, but it could be argued that it wasn't so much the clothes, but what was wearing the clothing. All in all, a very entertaining afternoon at the Credit Union Centre in Saskatoon.

Nothing like getting free samples of beer, partaking in mini donuts, beer sausage, cheese from the Bulk Cheese Warehouse in Saskatoon. There was the draw for the Man Shed, a tool shed that had a bathroom, chairs, flatscreen tv, small deck with a putting green, and a microwave. A $45,000 dream shed up for grabs in a draw. The portable, drivable bar stool. The surprise look when we found out a fully loaded Integra costs only $52,000 (I woulda totally guessed $100,000).

And yes, there was the fashion show. Did I mention the fashion show? Have I mentioned that in the past five minutes that there was a fashion show? Did I?

Dakota Dunes had a both there promoting the golf course, world class I might add. The film, Season of Dreams, a film all about football in rural Saskatchewan and how it links back to the Saskatchewan Roughriders was on display and available to purchase the 2 disc DVD. I also met up with a few old friends while I was there, getting a chance to catch up with what they were doing.

Props to Al Douma, owner of Michelangelo Marble and Granite Company. He allowed myself and Pearce to check out the fashion show right from his booth. He was conveniently located right beside said stage. And all of this was right after Pearce and I partook in Free Comic Book Day at Eighth Street Comics and Amazing Stories. All of that in another blog post.

One last thing was the Saturn SUV I saw while entering the tradeshow. Couldn't believe that Saturn produced an SUV called the Outlook.

Until next time...

Keep 'em flyin'!
