Hey there, time traveller!

A pair of local golfers hit a celebrity-spotting hole-in-one Sunday, when they ran into the Backstreet Boys at Rossmere Golf and Country Club.
Kelly Page, 46, and her friend Caralyn Rabichuk, who is a member at the Winnipeg club, noticed the 1990s boy band — composed of Nick Carter, Howie Dorough, Brian Littrell, AJ McLean and Kevin Richardson — on the 18th hole, enjoying a round of golf the day before they were to perform at Canada Life Centre.
“We didn’t crowd them or anything,” Page says with a laugh. “But they let us take a picture with them.”
Page and Rabichuk were golfing with their teenage daughters and a few friends. However, Page’s eldest, Taylor, had to leave before the photo was snapped.
“My daughter is so mad she had to go to work,” Page says. “She was like, ‘How could I miss this?’”
(Page’s youngest daughter, Hailey, and Rabichuk’s daughter Ava were in the picture.)
“They were very nice, easygoing guys,” Page says of the short and sweet interaction. “I told them I was a teacher, and they were really excited about that. I told them my students would love it if they’d pose with us.
“They were really great. Super polite. It was a pleasure to meet them.”
(Dorough, for the record, was the chattiest of the Boys.)
Page is a self-described “super fan” of BSB. Sadly, she wasn’t able to get tickets to Monday night’s show in Winnipeg.
“It wasn’t in the cards with back-to-school bills for us, unfortunately,” she says. “But we were lucky enough to see them anyhow.”
