You may know my wife “Dawna” spelled D-A-W-N-A. I would like to thank her for the PS3 Cabela’s Dangerous Hunts 2011.

Rollie is our new 7 week old American Staffordshire Terrier / German Sheppard puppy.

Ben Cumming started with Trail Blazer in January 2008 as an intern from the Nova Scotia Community Collage. He accepted a temporary role on May 1st when he worked in administration, until Sarah Ryall returned from maternity leave in November.
