Delishishness!

Boloco is once again sponsoring a community day in Burlington. Sorry for the horribly late notice I've been without my laptop; But hopefully a few of my trusty readers will be able to get down there! They're doing any free regular burrito until 8pm, they were also handing out fresh baked cookies & SpinDrift drinks when I walked by just now. Donations appreciated & are benefiting Spectrum Youth Servies.

Kid's Fishing Derby?

For years now I've brought my growing crew to the fishing derby, this year it's been a little harder to find info on it but I think we'll trust the 1 & only site coming up with Anything. September 21st meet at the waterfront shelter (has usually been the Boathouse?) for registration. Hopefully P&R will have something up on their site soon, but pencil it in!
