BS: support the underdog

From: Simon G

We all know about the underdog. The ice rink in our little community of Lawrencetown with 600 people here in Nova Scotia has reached the final 12 of the annual Hockeyville of Canada competition.

The rink was created and adapted over the years by many folk in the community. Its a little battered but functional and well loved. We are up against communities of many thousands with commercial rinks. Its like a folk song going up against a series of cleverly moulded pop song; we know which one deserves to win but somehow the popular choice is picks the wrong one.

Help the underdog win, for once. Vote for us here

Vote for the Underdog, Lawrencetown

You are allowed to vote as many times as you like, one person managed 105 votes in 20 minutes.

Thanks a whole bundle

Good luck!

To answer my own question ... yes!

And as you pointed out, I could do it as many times as I liked ...


Suporting the underdog on St Patricks day is something I take great pleasure in doing!!

Thanks for voting in the first round of Canada's Hockeyville, you did the job and Lawrencetown is in the last 5, voting is open until midnight EDT on Wednesday. If you get chance please vote for the underdog, its going to be a remarkable story when the rink to small to hold an NHL game wins a pre-season game.
There are only 660 of us in Lawrencetown.

Anyone can vote from anywhere as many times as you like. So please get some votes in for us, we are competing with towns that have 100 times our population -- we are the underdog of them all, hanging in there 'cause we have friends like you.

Vote Lawrencetown, the Underdog

The real remarkable thing for me is I get to go work tomorrow with a band from the local high school to record a song that I have written - The Little Rink That Could.

Thanks for voting

Simon

OK! I voted for you 19 or 20 times. Does feel like cheating but they sure are enthusiastic!

Good luck.
