Our friend Phil reports:
The last few years, Citadel Radio has been a big sponsor of a fun event geared towards men called the Buffalo Men’s Show. Seneca Niagara Casino is the location where they bring in various vendors with lots of big boy toys like televisions, cars, and drinks. In addition, since guys love beautiful women, a lot of models are on hand each year as well. This year, one of those models was the Martin Archery Girl…who we all know as Laura of the Buffalo Jills.
Also, this event is a big one for the Jills with several members of the squad in attendance signing autographs, selling off their calendars, and posing for lots of pics. But this year’s event went a little further than previous years…joining the Jills at the show were several members of the Buffalo Bandettes dance team. Throughout the event, I did some catching up with the Jills, whom I haven’t seen in 2 months and some even longer, as well as get plenty of photos of both the Jills and the Bandettes.

2009 Jills Ambassador Heather is working with a new website called Pro Player Insiders dedicated to NFL players and their fans. Heather’s focus will be cheerleading and she’ll have articles up on a weekly basis on the subject as well as interviews with girls from around the league. Check out her column called Leading The Cheer at http://proplayerinsiders.com/category/column/cheerleader/

The Sacramento Mountain Lions of the United Football League will hold their final cheerleading auditions at Dream Ultra Lounge (908 15th St., Sacramento, Ca. 95814) on Friday, April 1.
The auditions will begin at 6 p.m. while the doors will open to the public at 5:30 p.m. KHTK radio personalities Don Geronimo and Carmichael Dave will serve as the evening’s MC’s for the event.
Fifty-three women will be competing for the 32 spots on the Lady Lions 2011 cheerleading squad. This group of ladies qualified for the finals by being among the top performers at one of two preliminary auditions. Nineteen veterans from last year’s team received a pass through the preliminary round, but will have to compete with the rest of the finalists to keep their spots at these final auditions.
You can visit www.facebook.com/SacramentoMountainLions for a picture and short bio of all 53 potential Lady Lions.
The squad of 32 will be picked on April 1 following the auditions.
“I am so impressed with the quality of girls that are in the finals – it’s going to be a really tough audition,” said Mountain Lions Cheer and Dance Team Director Lindsay Shoemaker. “Any of them can make it. We have about 10 girls hovering around the final three spots – taking into account their preliminary audition and interview scores.”
The Lady Lions will perform at all four Mountain Lion home games this fall and will serve as ambassadors for the organization throughout the season.
“The preliminaries were closed but the finals are open to the public and we are looking for audience participation in helping us choose the team,” Shoemaker said. “So come on out and cheer on your favorites.”
