Marlies Pucks and Purls
Mark your calendars for Saturday, February 11, 2012. The DKC is sponsoring Pucks n’ Purls, a family-oriented event with the Toronto Marlies for knitters, with lots of activities and fun for family members of all ages.
Location: Ricoh Coliseum (Exhibition Park)
Marlies’ Alley Open: 1:30 p.m.
Gates Open: 2:00 p.m.
Game Time: 3:00 p.m.
Seating Location: Behind Marlies bench (Section 100/119)
Price: $20.00 per ticket
One and a half hours before game time, Marlies’ Alley, a family interactive zone with inflatable figures and games such as bubble hockey, hockey shooting challenge and foosball is opened for ticket holders to have active fun with their friends and families. Before the game and at intermission, there will be knitting- related activities, contests and draws for prizes.
And for a very special treat, starting about fifteen minutes after the game, there will be an hour free skate (no hockey) on the Marlies ice, exclusively for the Pucks n’ Purls ticket holders up to a limit of 250 skaters. Note that skaters or their parent/guardian will have to sign a waiver before going on the ice and that children 12 and under must wear a helmet.
Tickets are available at DKC meetings or at www.marlies.ca/PucksNPurls using Special Offer Code pucksnpurls. Support your local participating yarn store by clicking their specific link, and help the store win a prize.
