…these were just a few of the larger prizes that were distributed by the Manitouwadge Minor Hockey Association volunteers who have been collaborating with businesses, groups and individuals in Manitouwadge to keep momentum building in regards to having Manitouwadge become KRAFT HOCKEYVILLE 2011.
March 8th the TOP TEN communities will be announced on CBC, OntarioNewsNorth.com will attend the party (hopefully to broadcast LIVE! though technicalities for that have yet to be ironed out); the group is hoping to have CBC’s coverage on the big screen at the auditorium in anticipation of the hundreds who will likely gather for the announcement. Volunteers Kerri Jackson and Becky Gorges assured us it would be a party worth attending “Whether or not we are announced in the Top Ten the party on the 8th will be a great opportunity to thank everyone for their participation and celebrate our community spirit” said Jackson.
