Port Hood was the place to be on Sunday, August 28, 2011 as we hosted a live broadcast of TSN‘s SportsCentre!
TSN came to town as part of the 2011 Kraft Celebration Tour. Last May, Roberta Watts submitted an essay detailing why Port Hood should be a stop on the tour. On July 1, the entry was selected as a Top 20 finalist and after an online voting match up, Port Hood was delared a winner! Not only did we win a TSN SportsCentre broadcast with Kate Beirness and Darren Dutchyshen and a great day of games and giveaways from Kraft, but the Al MacInnis Sports Centre received a $25,000 cheque to go toward rink improvements!
The Chestico Museum was part of the fun as well! On Saturday, after an incredible afternoon of whale watching, Kate and Darren stopped by the museum for some fiddle and square dancing lessons. The two were great sports and we enjoyed having them!
101.5 The Hawk was also on site as there was a surprise meeting between Cameron MacEachern and Kate! The Hawk took lots of great pictures at the museum that can be viewed on their Facebook page and there is also a video.
Clips of all the excitement from the Port Hood broadcast can be viewed on TSN’s video page.
