Stevens Takes First and Third in Local Hide and Seek Competition

Joe Stevens on the Podium Saturday

Bonny River, NB - Some hide and seek fans called it the "best performance in years." Joe Stevens took off Saturday morning and wasn't found until after dark Saturday night. Dressed in camo pants and carrying a few extra lbs., Stevens managed to stay out of sight all day. The judges said that Stevens' feat was so great, they awarded him first and third prize.

Second place finisher Jim Buchanan did not show up for the photo shoot at the end. A spokesperson for Buchanan said that he "was very distraught over the defeat." Buchanan was found on a path hiding behind a big rock. He tried to fool the seekers by telling them he was a a tourist that got lost.

Stevens now goes onto to the tryouts for the 2010 Winter Olympics Canadian Hide and Seek Team. The tryouts will be held in Whistler in late August.
