THE BLAZIN’ WING CHALLENGE THIS THURSDAY, MAY 23 AT BUFFALO WILD WINGS IN GUELPH!
The Tiger-Cats are back at Buffalo Wild Wings (35 Harvard Road) in Guelph this Thursday at 6 p.m. The Ticats Cheerleaders will be joined by offensive linemen Peter Dyakowski and Mike Filer and long snapper Kevin Scott who will be on hand to sign autographs.
The highlight of the night will be the infamous Blazin’ Wing Challenge, with the winner receiving autographed Ticats merchandise in addition to bragging rights. Keep in mind that it’s also ‘Boneless Thursdays’ at Buffalo Wild Wings, with boneless wings going for only .65 cents each. You can also order off of the new Buffalo Wild Wings premium hot dog menu for your chance to win a pair of tickets to the Ticats pre-season game.
Our ticket staff will be in attendance once again to answer any questions about the upcoming season. Remember, if you, your family or friends purchase tickets on Thursday night, you’ll be going home with an autographed football. It’s going to be a great night!

St George’s Square will once again host the 2013 Noon Hour Concert Series in downtown Guelph. Organised by the Downtown Guelph Business Association (DGBA), this free annual outdoor music event will start on Friday May 31st and continue every Friday at Noon until September 6th.
Rising star Sarah Felker will launch the event at the end of May treating us to a powerful voice beyond her 19 years. Other first-time Nooners, such as Olivia Borkorsky and CBC Searchlight finalist Ambre McLean, will lift the spirits of downtown employees and visitors with their exceptional vocals. Crowd-favourites Adrian Jones, Kim Regimbal, Jason Raso and Ian Reid will lead the pack of returning musicians. Ian says “this is the highlight of the summertime for me. As a performer, you can count on great audience support: dancing kids, smiling passers by, and toe tapping paper bag diners. It makes me proud to be a part of the community.”
The 2012 series saw the audience bathed in hot sun so with this in mind the DGBA will be loaning out bright and colourful parasols and supplying sunscreen. As DGBA Executive Director Marty Williams explains “we want people to be able to relax and enjoy the music and the vibe of downtown Guelph in the summer. Quality performances and respite from the sun go a long way to giving folks an enjoyable afternoon”.
A full list of performers can be seen below and bios can be found at http://www.downtownguelph.com.
