Status: Task Force Episode XIII

Buenas tardes! Es Alyssa y Kat! Como pueden ayudarle? Why did we start it in Spanish? To keep you on your toes. BAM. This is how we do it.

You may be wondering why we have decided to bless this week with not one, but two blogs. Well let us tell you. Kat will be M.I.A. for the next 6 days as she is going to a Convention. No, wait, a SUPERHERO Convention. No, wait…COMIC CON! No, wait, that already happened. Umm…ok, so she’s taking the DeLorean to Comic Con and uhh yeah, we didn’t just make that up. The Justice League needs assistance of sorts. When you look this good, people always want your help.
So back to things that are relevant to our job – THE CHILDREN’S FESTIVAL!!! This year, as a special treat to all the small ones it spanned not one but TWO days. Yesterday was Discover Sandcastles. Let us set the scene for you . The beach. The sun blazing overhead. Thousands if not millions of sandcastle enthusiasts waiting for the horn to sound so they could begin creating their masterpieces. And no rain. Blind Melon would be pleased. If that wasn’t enough for you, Team Aqua recruited Sandi Castle from the sand dunes of Tattooine to provide both an enlightening building demonstration and her opinion on why Anakin turned to the Dark Side.

Moving on to The Children’s Festival: Episode II, similar to Star Wars: Episode II…minus the clone attacks and poor storyline. It did however feature live entertainment, demonstrations, ice cream, burgers, games and, perhaps best of all, free teddy bears! That’s right. In an effort to expand our team, your Task Force asked potential recruits three skill-testing questions (hey, postal codes are hard to remember when you don’t send letters to yourself…) and rewarded correct answers with free stuffed animals, Frisbees and tasty sports drinks. It was a great success.

Now, normally as Task Force members, we modestly hide from the media spotlight. If we didn’t, the front pages would constantly feature close-ups of our faces. When you’re this awesome all the time, people take notice. However, every now and then one of us does something so incredible that it is impossible to keep it quiet. Such was the case a few weeks ago. Andrea, aka Busk That, is now documented forever on The Hamilton Spectator’s website. She’s in the office tomorrow in case you want an autograph. But without further ado, here’s the picture that made her famous:
Till next time, stay classy Burlington.
