Scott D Jones - Staffing Consultant - Toledo, Ohio

Yesterday I attended the Season Opener for the Mud Hens despite the cold weather.  It is always interesting how every professional in Toledo makes their way up to the suites.  This makes it very interesting to try and navigate the hallways elbow to elbow with people.  As soon as we went up the elevator we ran into someone we knew and somehow ended up in the same exact spot for two hours.  It seemed like everytime we would end one conversation someone new would show up to talk to.  I am definetely not complaining because after that two hour time span we tried to navigate the hallways and that was exhausting.  Every year I say that I am going to watch the game and I fail.  I caught the score once on the TV's that are littered in the hall.

It is one of the greatest networking events to ever attend.  On that same note it is probably one of the funest with everyone in good spirits about spring even though last night was freezing.  Even though it was a loss for the Hens it was a huge success with over 12 thousand in attendance.  It was a delight to see the city spark with every business and restaurant in the area hustling and bustling.  We went to Pizza Papolis afterwards and as always had an amazing pizza there even after a short wait it was worth it the place was packed.  While walking in front of other local bars it was not the only place packed full of people.

From my understanding this is a huge weekend for Toledo as it is season opening weekend and there is also the Mini-Plane Convention at Seagate.  Toledo is supposed to attract over 40,000 people this weekend alone.  Not to mention the Brad Paisley tickets went on sale this morning!  I got my set of tickets that should be a great show.

A whole lot of things happening for Toledo right now lets get out and support that get out to a game or event this weekend.  Make the best out of each event so that we continue to have great attendance and support our local venues with drinks or food pick your poison!  I am looking forward to a great summer with a lot of events coming up to keep the flow moving downtown. 

Glad to see everyone last night and I am sure I will be seeing everyone again at the many games to come!
