Willie Win in Barrie's Santa Claus Parade

Hey Kids,

If you live in the Barrie area, make sure you come out to the Barrie Santa Claus Parade on Saturday, November 20. I'll be in the parade along with all my mascot buddies from other harness tracks in Ontario.

It's a nighttime parade, so it's sure to be great! The parade starts at 5 p.m.

Photos from my 'Artistic Adventure'

Wow! What a fun experience I had this weekend. I got to show off some Trot 4 Kids art at a show in Brampton, I got to visit a fall fair and got to meet the cast of 'Degrassi'!!!

Check out my photos!

Whew! What a busy summer I've had! I've been traveling all over visiting racing fans as well as holding my own in the mascot roadshow. So far I've managed only one win but victory was sweet!

After my last mascot roadshow appearance I got the chance to head to the Western Fair in London, ON. I got to hang out with one of the newest members of the roadshow "Horace" the Horse. We mingled with the crowds and got to watch some great racing at the fair this week.

I am on my way to the Brampton Fall Fair this weekend and I can't wait to meet all the horse lovers up in that part of Ontario, I've eaten so much fair food I don't know if I'll be in racing shape for the next stop on the roadshow!

That's all for now kids!

Mascot Roadshow this Sunday at Clinton

Hope you guys are getting ready for a good weekend! Come to Clinton Raceway on Sunday afternoon to cheer me on! Many of my competitors will be there. Including Grandy the Gray, Sulky Sam, Jackpot, Black Beauty and CR Trotter.

Industry Day and Mascot Roadshow

I got the chance to see a lot of my fans at Industry day at Grand River and at Hanover. One of the highlights of my day was when one of my fans ran up to me and said, "Hey Willie Win! Thanks for dancing with me last time!" She even gave me a big high five and a hug! Here are some pictures!

Next Roadshow Date!

Hey kids! Its been awhile since my last mascot roadshow race, so I have had a lot of time to train for the one coming up.

HIGH FIVE!

A great big hug for the best fans!

Look how busy it was!

Wow! Mohawk was a blast on the weekend! I am still resting from the busy day I had seeing all of my new friends! I gave some high-fives, posed for pictures, laughed at clowns, played with the other horses and watched some close races, I even had the chance to hand out some Trot 4 Kids activity books and magazines, so you could all learn even more about standardbreds! I finished the night by watching the amazing fireworks and drawing the lucky winner of our T4K prize pack! I hope you are all just as excited as I am for the next time you get to go to the races! Since school is over soon, you're going to have a lot more chances. Keep checking my blog and you will be the first to know where I am going to visit next! For now, I'm going to enjoy the summer heat in the field.
