He's gracious and truly appreciates talking to fans.

Obviously he doesnt provide any State secrets. He'll talk about rules and the history of the game, but won't talk about a player's status or game strategy.

No activities at TD Manitoba, it was held at part of the 3rd floor so it felt like when there used to be Octoberfest there.

The other team rooms did have corn-hole and video arcade games.

Mmm Ockotoberfest eh? Kinky.

The kid-friendly side of the festival was great.  I'd say my family spent 9 hours total at it over the 3 days?  I thanked every volunteer I could on my way out Fri.  Some of them looked dead tired and ready for it to all be over!  :D

Oh ya, and the fireworks were A+++.  Anyone who missed them (which is a ton of people based on attendance) really missed out.  Totally worth going just for that.
Never go full Johnston!
