Meeting Corey Crawford

I have not written a blog post recently so I decided it was time to catch up on writing about my most recent signing event. I went to meet Corey Crawford, the goalie for the Chicago Blackhawks, back on September 27th. I have previously been to two other Blackhawks signings including Patrick Sharp and Brent Seabrook. Both of those signings that I went to were so packed that I just turned around and left the signing. I really hate when that happens because everytime I go to a signing I want to get an autograph, not drive all the way there and leave empty handed. This signing was at Carson's in Orland Park Mall. My dad and I showed up at 3:45. They were handing out wristbands to the first 350 people starting at 4:30. The signing was scheduled for 5:00 and I was super glad that it wasn't slammed like my previous two Blackhawks signings. My dad and I both received wristbands after we each had to donate some article of clothing because this was another Goodwill event. We waited for a very short time as Mr. Crawford showed up about twenty minutes early. When we got up there, my dad got a puck signed for me and then I got my Blackhawks mini helmet signed. I was extremely happy when I left this signing because this was my first Blackhawks signing event. This was also the 40th autograph signing that I have been to. I cannot wait to see who my next signing will be!
