fenway-parkThe Nova Scotia Government yesterday announced a partnership with the Boston Red Sox which will see a Nova Scotia Day at Fenway Park on May 18th as well as a ova Scotia weekend in Boston to promote Nova Scotia tourism to the New England market. The weekend will be filled with events highlighting Nova Scotia and will culminate with a Nova Scotia Day at Fenway for a game with the Detroit Tigers vs the Sox. Also it was announced the Red Sox will be bringing the World Series Trophy to Nova Scotia for the days June 4 and 5. In conjunction with this event the partners are sponsoring a contest which will see two lucky people enjoy a weekend in Boston via the ferry to take in Nova Scotia Day.

There is not an organized group heading down, but I believe the Department of Tourism has a block of tickets in a certain area . I was hoping to have a link for those now but hopefully by the first of the week we will have something posted. We have numerous Boston members on our facebook page and will try to get them to set up something at one of the local spots before the game on Sunday if there is enough interest. Stay tuned. You may want to join the facebook site as well as information tends to end up there sooner.

We’re Back And The Sox Win A Title

Well, it is good to be back on the internet as a website once again. We have been off for over six months after the company that hosted our previous site decided that they could no longer offer such a service for free. When we attempted to reboot our website after paying for it, the hosts for some reason could not retrieve it and we lost everything including many valuable photos. Thanks to our members, however, we have been able to get many of them back and we have them posted on our Gallery page with many more to come.

Wow while a way from here the Red Sox accomplished something no one except the dreamers could have imagined. The Olde Towne Team won their eighth World Series Championship and the third in our lifetime all of which have happened in this decade. Whether it was Boston Strong or the Beards, the Baseball Gods took favour on our team this past season and we have another Championship to celebrate. We had a host of unlikely heroes but also one special player who has contributed to all three in our lifetime that being David Ortiz.

We also hope that we will soon have something very special to announce regarding the Sox and us, so keep your fingers crossed and hope that we can pull it off.

To end, here is a photo of what happened after Koji struck out the last Cardinal in game six giving the Sox the Series.koji
