Weekend Update

I hope everyone had a good weekend.  It was busy around here.  Candyland finished up across the street in Central Park and on Sunday I volunteered my time at Flag Raiders Paintball Games in Kitchener at their first annual Christmas Big Game, Operation Rogue Elf.  Not only was it a great opportunity for paintballers to get out and play in the snow, but it was a charity fundraiser in support of Family and Children's Services.  Offspring Baby and Toy Tales co-sponsored the event and over $1100.00 was raised to help make Christmas merrier for those less fortunate in our community.  In case you weren't aware, Flag Raiders is a big proponent of community service and each Friday evening at the indoor facility on Gage Ave in Kitchener they offer Food Bank Fridays. Each non-perishable food item reduces entry by $2 and paintballs are half price.  Over the duration of the program Flag Raiders has donated over 14,000 pounds of food (the second largest donation in Cambridge from what I've been told.)  Not bad for a small business!  Now I'm off to do some shopping and drop off the gifts to Family and Children's Services.  It's not too late to do your part either, drop off a new unwrapped toy at our store and we'll make sure it gets to F&CS.  We've got Trees of Hope for sale too, $2.00 each.  It's that easy!  Happy Ho Ho everyone!
