FAME!!
The Downeast Streeters will be on screen in an upcoming documentary, Corrie Crazy, which will be aired on CBC on December 9 in conjunction with Coronation Street's 50th anniversary. They filmed our summer ping on July 18th including some chats with some of the committee members and some of the ping attendees. We should get a couple of minutes' screen time when all is said and done. In addition, two of our Committee members, Diane and Mark were filmed for other segments in the documentary, Diane (and friends) blogged about her experience here and Mark's description of his day with the film crew aboard the HMCS Fredricton is here
Celebrating 50 Halifax Pingfests! April 25, 2010 was the date the Downeast Streeters celebrated our 50th pingfest in Halifax. To mark the occasion, there was cake! We also debuted a new game, based on Family Feud with teams competing in a trivia contest.
Welcome to the website for the DownEast Streeters, based in Halifax Regional Municipality, Nova Scotia, Canada. We are a non-profit society and our goal is twofold:
To work towards bringing a Coronation Street actor to the Halifax area
To organize regular fan get togethers, called "Pings".
