Breaking News!

Finally, a quick chance over my lunch hour to blog about this bit of news!

I was listening to Tom Allen this morning while working (a typical morning ritual). At about 8:30am he provided an update on the Manitoba standings for the Song Quest.

He spoke of a VERY close race in Manitoba, with the capital city of Winnipeg sitting at SECOND place... and "coming out of nowhere, the little town that could of Waskada" sitting at FIRST place!

If you could have heard me squeal... how exciting is this? I am absolutely thrilled! What a testiment to the power of people and the power of connections. To all my friends and family who are voting - thank you. To EVERYONE in the wonderful town of Waskada who is voting, thank you! To the friends and family of all those wonderful Waskadians who are voting, thank you! We have the potential to really pull this off and it is AMAZING!

Now, for the caution. Tom did say that it is a close race right now, and there are 600,000 people in Winnipeg that could potentially vote today and tomorrow. Which means we need to keep voting, stay mobilized for the next two days, and hopefully it will be enough to get... a song for Waskada!
