Kurt Browning's Final Tour with Stars on Ice Glided into Kitchener

As I mentioned months ago, Stars on Ice was coming to Kitchener and last night was the night!

Stars on Ice performed at the Kitchener Memorial Auditorium last night and the arena was full of emotion.  Whether it was a joyful synchronized skate with the performers, a skate with a soundtrack theme, or a heartfelt moment as Kurt Browning said goodbye to fans and fellow skaters, the feelings of each program were amplified by the spectators and their reactions to all skates gliding by them.

This year's show brought thousands to The Aud to see the skating icons. The attendees were thrilled to see their favorites from the skating world take to the ice for a performance filled with thrilling twirls, flips, and a little funky fun courtesy of Jason Browne's Boy Band skate.  Elvis Stojko had everyone ready to JUMP, Patrick Chan expressed the feelings of becoming a father and Piper Gilles and Paul Poirier skated an emotionally charged tribute to Evita. Movie soundtracks played a prominent role in this year's Stars on Ice productions.  Songs from 007, A Star is Born and the aforementioned Evita delighted fans, but for many, the highlights were the tributes to Kurt Browning throughout the show. Kurt Browning announced earlier this year that after 30 Years of performing with Stars on Ice that this would be his last Stars on Ice tour. Both the skaters and the audience conveyed their appreciation for his dedication to the sport of skating with thunderous applause and standing ovations.

Founded in 1986 by skating icon and Olympic Gold Medalist Scott Hamilton, the Stars on Ice tour originated in the United States.  In 1991, Stars on Ice began to tour Canada and has now played more than 300 shows in the past 30+ years.  Past tour performers include Tessa Virtue & Scott Moir, Brian Orser, Jamie Salé & David Pelletier, and Joannie Rochette.

As a long-time figure skating fan, I was excited to see these legendary skaters perform in Kitchener and look forward to the next time Stars of Ice comes back to our region.

There's So Much To See @ #CNE2016 – Canadian National Exhibition HINTS

There's So Much To See @ #CNE2016 – Canadian National Exhibition HINTS

As you know we are very big fans of the shows at the Canadian National Exhibition.  This year at the EX we joined 2 more bloggers to stroll the CNE grounds and take in all the amazing shows. Here we are with Hollie and Tammy, two of our Toronto blogging friends.

We began at the Canadian International Air Show where you had the opportunity to see historic planes pass by.  Some of them soaring while others were performing stunts. 

HINT: Walk through the FARM BULIDING out past the SECRET GARDEN to get a shady spot under a tree and then you also get to hear the broadcasters inform you of which planes and pilots you are about to see.

Next took the EXpress Train and we headed for the International Stage to see KONTERSCHWUNG: The Cool Swiss Acrobats perform.

HINT: Be sure to arrive about an hour ahead of time to be able to grab a seat.  Even the aisles were full with people trying to see the show.

Also in the same building we came across one of our Kitchener Waterloo friends, ChefD!

We found another #kwawesome peep in #toronto @letsgototheex #cne2016 #cne it's @chefdtv

After that it was time to get in line for the Hit List! Aerial Acrobatic and Ice Skating Show.  Attending the ice skating show at the Ricoh Coliseum is an annual event for us.  No matter what we make sure that we schedule our day around the yearly show. 

HINT: This is a great way to cool down and refresh.

After grabbing some dinner in the FOOD BUILDING it was time to head for the MOLSON MIDWAY STAGE to see WANTED, the Bon Jovi Tribute and they did not disappoint!

HINT: Always check the daily schedule to ensure you get to see all the shows that are of interest to you!

You might be wondering what it cost to attend all of these shows at the CNE.  That’s the best part all of these shows were included with your Grounds Admission ticket.  Imagine if you have to pay to see all these great acts separately? So always be sure to check which shows are free with CNE admission.  You will be surprised at all the different offerings that the Canadian National Exhibition has to offer! We think it will make a fantastic day trip for any age group.
