Notes on #UAP Discussions: Read the room. Seriously, Read-The -Room. These are not folks that just wandered in from their last #TonyRobbins seminar. They’ve been smelling blood in the water for a long time. They want #SharkWeek. Asking them if things are real is just begging to be broiled on a spit like a hog on the fourth of july

Kitchener Celebrate Erick Traplin Day

The City of Kitchener is recognizing 35 years of music and memories the first Erick Traplin Day on Sunday, June 8, 2025. The free event at Carl Zehr Square in downtown Kitchener celebrates the contributions of one of Waterloo Region’s favourite children’s entertainers, featuring live performances, special guests and games.  

Having a day named after him was not something Traplin ever expected when he began his musical career 35 years ago. Originally from Owen Sound, Traplin and his family moved to Kitchener in 1961. Traplin grew up in a musical family and played guitar and sang from an early age.  

After graduating from school, Traplin worked as a sewing machine mechanic at the La-Z-Boy factory in Waterloo. He said while it was a good job, he knew his life had more purpose.  

“I worked in construction and factory work for many years, but then I finally took a Tony Robbins course and realized what I really wanted to do was be an entertainer. It was a very deep epiphany. That’s what I wanted to do, and, by golly, within three months, I was doing it,” he said. 

While a career as a musician was the goal, Traplin said he had not planned on becoming a children’s and family entertainer. 

“I was gonna do the pub set. I joined the musician’s union, and when they called me, they said, ‘We got you a Christmas show for kids.’ You don’t get anywhere by saying no. So, I said yes and did the show, and I loved it,” Traplin said. 

With a career spanning over 35 years, Traplin said he sees familiar faces in the crowd. 

“I see more moms and dads getting up and dancing with their kids now because I played for them when they were kids,” he said.  

One of those kids who has grown into an adult fan is Merrin Manser, an event coordinator with the City of Kitchener.  

“My mom used to bring me to events like KidsPark and out to the Blue Moon. I’d sit there and eat my chicken fingers and wait for him to pay ‘Bubbles.’ Erick even played at one of my birthday parties,” Manser said. 

The opportunity to help plan out the day is something Manser is excited about taking on. 

“Erick is the first person that comes up every single time we start talking about family entertainment. He is a staple of the community, and this is a chance to celebrate the legacy of everything he’s done over the last 36 years,” she said. 

Manser planned the event with Traplin’s wife, Ruth, as a surprise for the musician. 

“I was overwhelmed. I’ve been playing for almost 36 years in the community and didn’t expect it,” Traplin said. 

In addition to planning the event with Ruth Traplin, Manser noted that the event also received assistance from other municipalities in the Waterloo Region. The partners include City of Cambridge, City of Waterloo, Kitchener Blues Festival, Kitchener Public Library, Kitchener-Waterloo Multicultural Centre, Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest, Sherwood Systems and the Township of Wilmot. 

“This is one of the first events where we’re coming together with all these groups that have worked with Erick over the years. From a planning perspective, it’s been great to work together with all our partners to make this day possible,” Manser said. 

Erick Traplin Day may be a celebration of music, but, for Traplin, the magic is in the lives that his music has changed. 

“I always take joy in watching the kids. I say I’ve got the best seat in the house because I get to see the kids’ faces, and I see them jumping up and down and having a good time. It’s joyful,” Traplin said.

Today is 𝗜 𝗔𝗺 𝗶𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝗗𝗮𝘆. Sounds empowering, right? That’s because it is. This is a reminder that you are in control of your own life, your decisions, and your destiny.

So, what better quote to go with today than this gem from 𝗧𝗼𝗻𝘆 𝗥𝗼𝗯𝗯𝗶𝗻𝘀, who once said:

“𝙏𝙝𝙚 𝙤𝙣𝙡𝙮 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙩𝙝𝙖𝙩’𝙨 𝙠𝙚𝙚𝙥𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙛𝙧𝙤𝙢 𝙜𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙬𝙝𝙖𝙩 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙬𝙖𝙣𝙩 𝙞𝙨 𝙩𝙝𝙚 𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙧𝙮 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙠𝙚𝙚𝙥 𝙩𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙮𝙤𝙪𝙧𝙨𝙚𝙡𝙛 𝙖𝙗𝙤𝙪𝙩 𝙬𝙝𝙮 𝙮𝙤𝙪 𝙘𝙖𝙣’𝙩 𝙝𝙖𝙫𝙚 𝙞𝙩.”

Wenn ich sehe, dass Tony Robbins die Lanxess-Arena bis auf den letzten Platz füllt, wundert es mich nicht mehr, dass Menschen den #Querdenkern auf den Leim gehen oder an #chemtrails glauben.
Macht für mich keinen Unterschied, ob man denkt, dass #911 ein Inside-Job war, an Gespenster glaubt, in den Niederlanden einen #retreat über sich ergehen lässt oder sich über 4 Tage so einen parawissenschaftlichen Nonsens wie #NLP reinzieht, im Glauben, danach ein anderer Mensch zu sein.

I am seriously considering setting him up with a Twitter account. The world needs to hear what he say to say: 

That shiny new high-rise may look perfect, but it's just hiding the cracks in your soul. Stop chasing facades and start facing your true self, warts and all. #AuthenticityMatters #EmbraceYourFlaws

You keep building these grand life plans like they'll bring you happiness, but you're just trapping yourself in a maze of your own making. Let go of the blueprints and start living in the present. #LetGoofControl #LiveNow

Chasing after someone to complete you is like trying to fill a black hole with love. Stop looking for your "other half" and start learning to love your whole, imperfect self. #SelfLoveisKey #YouAreEnough

Words, words, words - they're just smoke and mirrors hiding the raw truth of your experience. Cut through the noise and start connecting with the world directly, without the filter of language. #SilenceIsPower #ExperienceOverExplanation
