The very next afternoon our family headed out to a local wrestling event held inside one of the many local craft breweries we're lucky enough to have just a couple kilometres away from home. We walked over and were instantly brought back to the 1980's wrestling that many of us grew up with, including announcers who encouraged the crowd to embrace their 'inner eight year old' that afternoon.

We were surrounded by friends, neighbours, familiar faces, and saw several kids wearing swag from local schools, including our own. As everyone cheered together, I was reminded of community being about where you make it, and Junction City Wrestling will always be a place we can call home.
With fun, albeit silly, plot lines, great villains and heroes, along with strong fierce female wrestlers (who take on men in the ring as well as female fighters) for my daughter and son to watch in action. Booing bad guys and high fiving your favourite wrestlers is a great way to spend an afternoon.

If you live in the area, or even further away in the GTA, I encourage you to come and check out Junction City Wrestling. They often have free outdoor events in the summer, and their colder weather paid events are a fun way to beat the winter blahs. They have two events scheduled in March, follow them on Facebook to find out more! They'll be happy to have you. What are you waiting for? Maybe we'll see you there!
