The Neepawa Titans’ parent/billet weekend has become an annual highlight event for the team. This year, weekend organizers Tammy Dudenhofer and Tara McCarty went all out and the results were outstanding. In total, 22 sets of parents and grandparents converged on Neepawa, joining forces with the billet families for a fun filled weekend.

Parents and grandparents of the players came from across Manitoba, the prairie provinces, Northwest Territories, as well as Michigan, Illinois andArizona.

The weekend kicked off with a reception at the Emperor’s Lounge at the Yellowhead Centre. The Emperor’s lounge was just built this year by the Titans. It has seen use as a birthday party spot and as a VIP space. The lounge will see extensive use by the Viterra Curling Bonspiel in February. The group attended the Friday night game and followed by a pizza and wings party at Neepawa’s Chicken Chef restaurant. Chicken Chef was packed and the players got a chance to introduce their parents and billets to everyone.
