Kudos to another Buffalo Champion!

Congratulations to Cheektowaga's LIZ JOHNSON who won the 2009 United States Bowling Congress Queens Tournament in Reno, NV! Liz had advanced to the same tournament 4 other times but never won until this year. ESPN2 broadcast the event in which Liz won $ 30 GRAND plus the cool TIERRA pictured above!

Could you handle a hockey rink (with Zamboni) in your basement?

Don't ask me why but I was up late the other night watching GEORGE STROUMBOULOPOULOS and his show THE HOUR on CBC interviewing Ryan Peake and Chad Kroeger of Nickelback. Chad mentioned how he loved Hockey so much he has put in the basement of the addition of his home (a 20 acre spread in Abbotsford, BC about 20 miles from Vancouver) a complete (3 on 3) hockey rink with ZAMBONI that he drives. Chad says he hates to "go into town for anything!"

New U.S. Monopoly Champion is from SLOAN!

Congratulations to Sloan's RICK MARINACCIO who just became the U.S. NATIONAL MONOPOLY CHAMPION in Washington, D.C. (Rick is pictured above being congratulated by MR. MONOPOLY). As winner Rick will receive $20, 580.00, the equivalent in the Monopoly Bank, and will represent the USA at the Monopoly World Championships in Las Vegas in October. Rick is also planning on getting married later this year, so we know where some of his winnings will be going...good luck Rick!

Nice Prom Dress story!

Taylor Swift (pictured above with her best friend Abigail Anderson on the left) has donated her Prom Dress to http://www.donatemydress.org/ who auctioned it off for $1,200! Taylor said "I wore it once and loved it but to keep it around, hanging there all by itself and lonely in my closet never to be worn again seemed a little pointless...I want another girl somewhere to feel good in it and have a great prom night because of this dress!"
