2nd Annual Calgary Dinner & Fun Money Casino Evening - September 15, 2009
The Calgary spirit was definitely present as a full house was 'ALL IN' at the second annual Canada's Sports Hall of Fame Dinner & Fun Money Casino Evening, presented by Cisco Systems Canada Co. and Skyservice Business Aviation.
The energy throughout the room was both electric and contagious as Honoured Members and Celebrity Guests were in great spirits. Once again the Skyservice Private Jet Terminal's aircraft was an ideal backdrop for this special event. Dave Kelly of Citytv's Breakfast Television served as the Master of Ceremonies, and event co-chairs Doug Mitchell, Bob Hamilton and Scott Ackles introduced the Honoured Members and Celebrity Guests to the audience. Notable Celebrity Guests included Perry Berezan, Cheryl Bernard, Burke Dales, Dave Irwin, Mike Labinjo, Chris Moffat, Mike Moffat, Jon Montgomery, Bob Nevin, Jim Peplinksi and Ray Turnbull, along with Honoured Member attendees, Michelle Cameron, Lori Fung, Dr. Roger Jackson, Normie Kwong, Catriona Le May Doan, Kerrin Lee-Gartner, Karen Magnussen, Marnie McBean, Steve Podborski, John Primrose and Margaret Southern.
Congratulations to Art Price, this year's Grand Prize poker tournament winner of two return tickets to any scheduled WestJet destination.
Canada's Sports Hall of Fame would like to congratulate all the winners and thank all attendees and its many sponsors, for without them this evening would not have been possible.
