get yer can to the Tullio Arena this saturday, eh?

I went to a boxing match yesterday and a hockey game broke out. (Please chuckle accordingly.)

Anyway, the good folks at the Erie County Recycling Program have teamed up with the Erie Otters for a special aluminum can recycling event this Saturday, December 8, at the Tullio Arena.

Game time is 7:30. The first fisticuff is scheduled for approximately 7:42.

Here's how it works: Just bring an aluminum can (or cans, for that matter) to be recycled and you'll get two free tix to an upcoming Otters game. That's it. No strings attached. Plus the first 1000 folks in the door get a pretty nifty sports bottle.

For all you die-hard parking ramp tailgaters, now you've got somewhere to toss all those Bud and Coors Light empties. And it's not underneath some old lady's Buick Skylark.
