We were blessed with another warm sunny day and Pat (driver) and I started the day at the Kenmount Rd. McDonalds in St.John's. WOW! What a reception and start to our day. We had 18 amazing Medal Bearers, community difference makers, an olympic athlete and a member of Provincial Parliament. To top all THAT off, Rick showed up to greet our participants and speak to a representative from McDonalds who gave us all a special surprise.... a check from McDonalds for 2 MILLION dollars! Yup, ya heard me right... 2 million. After a quick group photo op we boarded the shuttle and completed our relay section.
We moved on to our End of Day ceremony in beautiful, and hilly :( , Mt.Pearl. There was some great musical talent to warm up the crowd before Rick arrived on the scene to speak to them. There was a large crowd and everyone was excited and eager to meet Rick and celebrate with him. Dummy me, was getting into everything (music, conversation) and didn't take pics! Live and learn. On to Clarenville tamarraw!
