When we're not doing boating stuff...

...we work for a living and that takes us to some interesting places.  Today, we hosted a meeting for about 150 little kids (and their moms) at the West Hartford library.  Did all those kids show up to hear about our Silverton?  No, at that age, they have much more fun interacting with two icons that seem to interest kids, generation after generation.

Tough not to like your visitors when they pay this much attention.

We do the publicity for the skating versions of these two famous characters in Southern New England and this event was what is known as a "meet & greet" to enhance ticket sales. It really works and they are fun to do.

There is a somewhat creepy element to a blog like this and we should explain it.  As we type our blog, Google saves our words every minute or so. Google is looking for key words (and images) that they can match to advertisers who might get hits on their websites when their ads are displayed on our blog.  Normally that isn't much of a problem, but with this post, mention of the show or the characters above is not permitted by those who hold the copyrights without their express permission. And, quite understandably, they guard that copyright closely.

As a consequence, if this chapter of  "Silverton 34C" disappears, you'll know why.
