Come see some great bands, eat some great food, and hang out with some great folks. It looks like this year's BBQ is going to be even bigger than last year - we can't wait!
Music and fun from 11am - 3pm
Food will be served from 12-2pm
We are asking folks to bring a food bank donation, because Cranbrook Food Bank will be there. Last year Lucy's Lemonade Stand raised $200 for the food bank, and we hope she will raise even more this year!
There's still time to get in on the fun if you want to have a table at our event. Just message us for more information.
