Did anyone ever attend those "TVO live events?"
Up until about 2018, TVO kids used to do lots of stage shows with their hosts and some of their shows
I went to a bunch in the early 2000s. Here is my story
Ok, Let's start the my earliest story, Basically it was the tail end of Tvo kid's "red and green era" It started off with Mark Sykes with his pals Jackie, Julie and Ryan on a screen behind the stage, they were in the studo as if they were doing a normal episode when suddenly Ryan notices us so he calls out to Giesele and her pet bluejay (IRL just a puppet) who suggested they "go meet them" then the screen shuts off and they all come on to the stage. After this they did some random stuff (such as reading stories, reinacted segments from the tv show and giving out prizes). Then it was time for the Meet and Greet. I remember getting Photos with Mark and Julie Patterson. One little silly Tidbit was when my dad took the photo with me and Julie Patterson he accidently called her Jackie and she just simply stopped what she was doing, shifted her gaze toward him and just uttered "Julie" and then went back to me as if nothing happened.
For the previous one I was really young so do not remember much but this one I actually have more memory of. Unlike the event. This one split Giesele's half and Mark, Jackie and Ryan's half into two spots. Basically, Giesele's spot consisted of her reading the book Oliver has something to say and then having a chat with Melvin and Jay. Then it was time for Mark and Friends. I only remember three parts of this. 1. Mark was excited because he was planning a party and the whole time he was telling us that there would be "giant beach balls" much to Ryan's annoyance. Eventually Ryan couldn't take it anymore and asked where the beach balls were, to which Mark points to a large black tarp and next thing you know there are giant beach balls flying all over the place, to the audience. across the stage, it was raining balls. Finally, Nicole Stamp arrived and they all sang the song "Get Silly" together
Finally,I went to one just after their "red morph dude" era. Jackie and Ryan were gone but Mark was still there with two new folks, Kara and Drew. Basically, Drew and Kara did this whole show about fitness and then Mark read a story with these two puppets about a wizard who liked cooking and for some reason if you said his name three times you would turn into a pancake
Did any of you folks go to one in your youth?
