Lottery shakes things up

BCLC is shaking things up in regards to gambling. They have announced a new online competition to focus on new games for new customers in the Fun with Friends category.
The British Columbia Lottery Commission is inviting game developers, start-ups and entrepreneurs to register and submit their ideas for the next innovative game. The games can be physical, virtual reality, augmented reality, digital, social, online, or off.
You can read Heidi Mann’s AO blog for all the details and how to submit your ideas.
Congratulations to Gasoline Alley Harley Davidson for an incredibly successful first year.
They will be celebrating in true Gasoline Alley fashion this Saturday from 10 a.m. To 6 p.m. There will be music, barbecue and a burnout pit.
I am not a movie guy, but I can be talked into driving to Enderby to watch a movie outdoors if you bring the bug spray.
Now, I don’t need to worry about all of that any more because Eric Thorsteinson has started outsidecinema.ca.
Outdoor movies are meant to bring friends, family and community together.
On their web page, he has a variety of events that his outdoor screen could be used for. My favourite would be to hold the world’s largest Mario Kart competition at my next pool party.
How cool would that be?
It’s also a great idea for businesses, schools and festivals to consider making part of their events.
Contact Eric and let’s help support another new local business.
