Week Seventeen: Komet's Hockey Game

Last night, I decided to change the pace of the last few of my weeks and go with a pre-packaged, paid event. So, I bought a pair of tickets to Game 6 of our CHL Conference Finals as the Fort Wayne Komets hosted the Missouri Mavericks. The Komets were down 3-2 in the best of seven game series, so if they lost, the season was over. Now, it would have been more exciting to watch a game seven of the finals, but there's no way to guarantee that could happen.

So, after dinner at home, we left the kids with my mom and we took the quick drive to the Allen County War Memorial Coliseum to take in a Komets hockey game. I had already bought a pair of tickets, online, setting me back about $60 total, but since we don't splurge like this often, it was well worth the money. Amy ended up getting some snacks in the third period, so when all was said and done, I'm figuring the night ended up costing $80, but we had a lot of fun.

The Komets have been around in Fort Wayne for 60 years and we have gone to games over the years and always had a great time and last night was no different.  We had really good seats and the Komets won handily. Coincidentally, we found ourselves sitting next to Amy's dad's best friend, so we chatted with during breaks in the action.

Things I Learned:

• Sometimes, money can buy a fun experience, so its okay to spend a little from time to time.


• The community has a lot to offer in the way of entertainment, you just have to go find it.
