Hot Summer Nights already planned for Tolmie. To request a visit the website is:
http://www.mapleridge.ca/EN/main/emergency/617/29293/requestvisit.asp
I send one every year requesting a visit to Tolmie Park, and I don’t know how many other people do the same. If as a community we decide that Hammond Park is a better location or if we’d like to designate a few people to request Tolmie and a few others to request Hammond, I’m sure we can get them to show.
Coming in years to follow has a lot to do with turn out from previous years and/or number of requests and estimate of attendance. It’s a community education event for them.
Cool! I’ve added it to the the event calendar: http://www.hammondneighbours.ca/events/ , and I’ll update this page by putting a strike-through on the item
The calendar looks pretty crappy at the moment – I’m working on it.
And, by the way – you were the first person to comment on a page on the site! Yay! (That probably makes me happier than it makes you.)
LOL, that’s actually good to know. I was curious if I was the first or unable to view comments.
Now we just have to get more people talking, but the FB group page is busy
