Barbecue & Picnic in the Park – June 7

FREE burgers, hot dogs from the grill, group games + your salads & desserts

The Champlain Park Community Association has something special for you deserving souls this year.  We’re hosting a community-wide BBQ and picnic at the park on Saturday, June 7, from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.

It’s for everyone and all FREE.

The association has arranged a provider to grill up hamburgers, hot dogs, sausages and veggie burgers. (An assortment of drinks is being worked on too.)

We’re also asking picnickers to bring a salad or dessert dish to share with others.

But, hang on now — it’s not all about free food!

We’re hoping to arrange a number of timeless games, like a group tug-of-war, three-legged races and egg-on-spoon sprints.

We’ll need help, of course. Anyone able to volunteer time, ideas and organization is asked to email lauriefagan59@gmail.com

As many of you know, Champlain Park has undergone a good deal of change in the last decade, with many new homes and young families now part of the fabric of the community. This is a great opportunity to spend some relaxing time with your neighbours, in a venue we can all walk to.

It is another reason, too, to become a member of the association, now amidst its annual sign-up drive.

The rain date is Sunday, June 8 – please check our website if conditions look a little iffy.

We hope to see you there!
