]]> Comment on Fundraising in Manitoba: The Bud, Spud & Steak by Janelle http://www.winnipegomyheart.com/2009/04/fundraising-in-manitoba-the-bud-spud-steak/comment-page-1/#comment-3970 Janelle Mon, 08 Mar 2010 19:19:13 +0000 http://www.winnipegomyheart.com/?p=258#comment-3970 Harrison - I normally don't do stuff like this, but I do feel that there are some corrections needed...Buffalo Burgers were sold at the Buffalo BBQ days that used to be held at Unicity Mall Parking lot...Charleswood In Motion Days (aka Chuck N' Mo) was something completely different. And sadly although Winnipeg has A LOT of restaurants...very few of the are noteworthy of a great meal. The Bud Spud and Steak has been around for quite some time - long before the Canad Inn Hotels - and they are used as fundraisers for sport teams, school field trips overseas, many people use them to generate funds to help pay for costly medical treatments or to aid in benefit for those struggling with medical issues. I don't want to sound like a downer in this note - I truly enjoy living in Winnipeg, most of the time, but when it comes to anything "good" other than our quirks...there isn't much here IMO.

But I'd still like to have gone to Vancouver to see these games, or at least some of the non-sporting stuff. It's probably gonna be a long time before the olympics come back to Canada after all. And when they do come back, it'll likely be held in *shudder* Toronto. Oh, I just threw up in my mouth a little bit at the thought of that.

I find it interesting how the Olympics has generated so much buzz on both pro and con sides. A curmudgeon myself, I feel oddly drawn to the pro side now that it's here. I wish I could witness a Festival du Voyageur though! I'll have to settle for Nanaimo's Maple Sugar festival (http://www.francophonenanaimo.org/festival/fest_en.htm). ;) Vive le Francophone!

It would have been nice to experience a little bit of the spirit of the relay race and the energy of downtown. Someone compared it to NYC and while I'm not a big fan of crowds, I LOVED the energy of the city. I was thinking the same thing!
