Fun at the Fairmont

A great time was had by all last night at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier, with 'Trees of Hope' for Cheo! 28 Christmas trees were decorated by Ottawa businesses and organizations, including 2 from CHEO families, and they will remain at the Chateau Laurier until January 3rd. You can vote for your favourite tree with a donation to CHEO!
The BOB FM crew had a great time with our first-ever entry into the 'Trees of Hope'. Our Mike Fisher-themed tree didn't win any decorating prizes, but it seemed to be a hit , especially with the ladies.......
Its quite a sight seeing women line up to have their photo taken with a 'cardboard cut-out' of Mike Fisher.....imagine if the man himself was there.......
thanks again to Mike Fisher for allowing us to use his image (thus kicking off another roaring season with the 'Mike Fisher Fan Club')..thanks to Deneen Perrin of the Fairmont Chateau Laurier, and to Sherry Thurig for the wonderful Mike Fisher tree topper!
Here are some pic's from the night....
