Spring is in the air and BBQ season is right behind. Imagine your man's face when he sees the Broil King Sovereign 90 propane BBQ sitting outside waiting for him. This beauty is solidly built and features a full rotisserie system, side burner and a total cooking area over 725 square inches - this BBQ was designed as a cooking machine. But there’s more - thanks to Pasquale's Fresh Meats, you will be starting the BBQ season off with $200 worth of quality meats, ready whenever you are. Pasquale’s has donated a freezer package to help stock you up for the season. Now you’re cooking, so ante up and assume your rightful place as King of the “Q”!

You bid, you SCORE! Here’s your chance to own a London Knights jersey signed by John Tavares! In March 2007, Tavares broke Wayne Gretzky’s record of most goals by a 16-year-old in the OHL. Tavares was also awarded the 2006-07 CHL Player of the Year award, for being the best Major Junior A hockey player in Canada.

Following his MVP performance at the 2009 World Junior Championships, NHL Central Scouting established Tavares as the top North American skater, and he is projected to be the first overall pick in the 2009 NHL entry draft.
