This past weekend I volunteered for the Greater Columbus Sports Commission during the 2015 NHL All-Star Event. During the Fan Fair, which started on Thursday, several events took place. There was a 45 foot snow slide, concession tent, Kid's Zone, several fire pits for smores and to warm up, entertainment tent that provided drinks, VIP section and music. Also, a skating rink was available. I worked the Kid's Zone where several event took place. One event in specific consisted of wooden lockers with Columbus Blue Jacket jerseys, players gloves and helmets where spectators could put on the gloves and helmets and take photos. I simply made sure gloves and helmets were not stolen and it was properly going smoothly. I also worked the entertainment tent where I handed out visitor guides and answered any questions that needed to be addressed from spectators. I worked the snow slide at one point by making sure it went smoothly and had the privilege of pushing kid's and adults down the slide, which was a lot of fun. Overall it was a great, organized event that I was privileged to work.
The 2015 NHL All-Star Game will take place this weekend in Columbus. It will be three days of superstars (and players who were only invited because every team needs a representative) putting their skills on display in a joyous, relaxed, fan-friendly environment.
The Columbus Blue Jackets will be hosting the 60th National Hockey League All-Star Game at Nationwide Arena on January 25. To enhance the “official” events surrounding the NHL All-Star festivities, the Blue Jackets and community partners will be celebrating the winter season by offering attractions that appeal to both visitors and the local community alike with the Columbus Blue Jackets All-Star Winter Park presented by Worthington Industries at McFerson Commons. This winter celebration across the street from Nationwide Arena will feature ten days of activities including the Scotts Miracle-Gro Outdoor Rink, The Dispatch Entertainment and VIP Tent, Kid’s Zone including a Blue Jackets replica locker room presented by AEP, outdoor fire pits, a Zamboni®, live media broadcasts, food and beverages and more. I will be volunteering by assisting guests at the Kids Zone and Dispatch Media Group Hockey House. I look forward to learning more about the city of Columbus and helping out with a fun event that is taken place. |
