My Favourite Days

It started out as a normal, ordinary day at the Rider game; then it turned out to be my favourite day! I went with my family, uncle, auntie, and grandparents. It was a bit after half time when a woman came around to see who could cheer the loudest and who had the most Rider spirit. Luckily, this was the day mom, Cara and I dressed up in our “Saskatchewan Pirate” costumes. That was the song that was played at every home game at the fourth quarter stretch. With the help of our uncle, who has a really loud voice, we grabbed her attention.

She came over and told my sister, mom and I, to follow her to a place by the stairs. We followed her there, and appeared on the Max Tron! My mom was selected for a chance to win a car at the last Rider home game! Thus, the story plays out like one would expect.



Later, we went to the final home game of the year, and my mom had to compete with nine other people to win a car! There were big balloons set out on the field and each one had a mini foam football with a number on it inside. They had to pop the balloons, and line up in the order of the number on the football that they got. My mom had number eight on her football, so we wouldn’t be surprised if she didn’t win the car, because she was the eighth person in line.

They all picked up different keys from a bucket, and took turns getting into the car to try to start it. All the people preceding my mom couldn’t get the car to start! It was my mom’s turn to go up, and all she was thinking was, “How do you start a standard?” She got help from the people who organized the contest, and the car roared to life! While our family was screaming and jumping up and down, she drove around the field.
