2006 Canada's Wonderland Off-Season Event

[xzvrw2]

I would go but there is two reasons why i can't:
(1) I will be in my first year in college
(2) My parents wont let me go to Canada by myself.

I am sure that it will be awesome and I am sad that I am going to miss it.

Hmm... I'd love to come to the event and volunteer, now that I'm living in Ontario, but I'm currently lacking wheels. Oh well.

Oh man, Wonderland! I'm really hoping I can attend, I heard it's a blast. The only things standing in the way at the moment are getting my parents to let me drive there, and finding a room. So if anyone knows of anyone that can help me with the room situation on such short notice, it would be greatly appreciated. PM me if you have any suggestions.

Thanks,

Ahh!!! Wonderland is this weekend and I'm SOOOOO excited!!!! Last year it was so much fun. This year will probably be even better! See everyone there!!!

If you want any media coverage of the event don't forget to start send out press releases or memo or whatever to the Toronto media

Global news:
newstips@globaltv.com and mzucaro@globaltv.ca and tell them what they will see and what FIRST is about and all that good stuff.....hey they might send someone.

There is also cityTV...I don't have their contact info but it is on the web and ROGERS cable 10 in richmondhill, and the Toronto SUN and STAR.....

I am not sure I will be there as I might be working....and of course I never know what stories I will get assigned to so if you want some press....just hammer away at their email and fax machines and make sure you describe the event well, interview clips available etc etc etc and the time/date/location....all that stuff an assignment editor would need to even consider sending someone.

and 680 NEWS 680news.com, might be a fun weekend story for them?

No guarantees....I work in this business and I still don't understand it

Don't forget CBC and CTV! I know that CTV went to GTR. Maybe they'd be interested in going to the Wonderland event too

well....let them all know about this weekend, best idea is to send press release now, then friday and then hit them again saturday morning.....but clearly it must be explained WHAT, WHEN, WHERE and what they (reporter/camera) will have for visuals and audio once they get there....add pictures to the press release if possible, at some stations let's just say the assignment desks have re-defined the meaning of simple

We're there!
