Happy New Year!!! As the calendar rolls over, so does my first year! 2018 marks my second year of operation of Covert Ottawa Guy and I think it’s been a huge success to date! This first week of 2018 kicks off with a wide variety of events including sports, charity balls, trade shows and other random fun events. I’d like to highlight four different tours this weekend through www.brewdonkey.ca as an option to get out of the cold and warm up with some great local micro-breweries. Also, if you haven’t been able to get out to Wesley Clover for the Christmas Lights display, you have only until Saturday to do so as it’ll be done for the season. If you’re looking to keep the kids occupied, holiday programming of Winter Frolic is running all week at the Canadian Agriculture and Food Museum, as well as a few more sessions of free indoor skating at TD Place!

I have GREAT NEWS!!! I’ve been nominated for TWO Faces Magazine awards this year!!! Ottawa’s Best Blogger AND Ottawa’s Best Promoter!! Thanks so much for those of you who have nominated me, I’m truly humbled by this! Voting begins on January 3^rd and it would be greatly appreciated if you could send a vote my way! Go to www.facesmag.ca/awards to see all the nominees for the many different categories.
