Our beautiful spring weather was suspended today. It's raining and +4c, gotta love Northern Ont! My wife talked me into going with her to the Home and Cottage show at the Sudbury Convention Centre. Before I go any further let me explain. The convention centre is an old arena that was shut down around the time that Toronto won their last Stanley Cup,...... and the Home Show, what a joke!!!!!!! It should be called Bubba's great adventure.
The Dollar Store had the biggest booth.......I guess Giant Tiger had the good sense to stay away. There was a guy there doing a demo with Ginsu knives (my wife had to hold me back).....what? The ShamWow guy was busy?? Electroulux was there as well (their display sucked) Another big draw was the woman selling magnetic bracelets for Arthritis. These are the same ones that are featured in the National Enquirer......enough said. There was also some idiot jumping around on something called "Fly Jumpers" just to aggravate anyone who was still there.
They had the nerve to charge $5 a head to get in and view this throwback to "Li'l Abner. I think the biggest pisser in all this is that we had been to a previous Home Show at the same location 2 years ago with the same result. They say memory is the first thing to go........
