Hello everyone,
After the success of last weekend’s family park crawl we’ve decided to
hold another one, this time on Mother’s Day, this Sunday.
CRUD has booked part of the Parkdale/Cromdale Community League (13335 85th
street). We will bring our BBQs over and get a liquor license (so mom can
have a champagne!) The kids can play in the park, dads can bbq what they
bring and mom can sit back and relax and be waited on by her family. This
event will be an afternoon and evening social event, beginning at 3 pm.
The only expense is what you want to bring (eat, drink, plates etc.) We
will supply the venue and barbecues.
If you’re planning on coming just drop us a line through an email at info@crudedmonton.org.
This promises to be a really fun event and we hope to see you out!
CRUD
