Canada Day Celebration in Houston June 28, 2009

Bring the family and come out to celebrate Canada Day on the 28th.

This year, we are going to provide some hamburgers and hot dogs while trying to raise a couple dollars to support the website fees. Hermann Park is kid and pet friendly and you may want to stay longer into the day even after everyone has gone home, just to see what there is to offer.

Take this opportunity to meet fellow Canadians who are far from home but not far from friends. See you there!

What is provided?

- BBQ hamburgers and hot dogs with condiments - prepared by the Organizing committee
- Special Canada Day cake (thanks to Meena!)
- Plates, napkins, and cutlery

What to bring

- Lawn chairs, games, frisbee, cooler, drinks
- Whatever you need to keep cool (there is a cooling station for kids close by)
- Alcoholic beverages are allowed - no glass containers!

Cost

Adults - $8
Kids - 12 and under - $5

* To cover location rental, food, and maybe some of the Meetup.com fees

Please pay using PayPal on the website otherwise cash on the day. Please, if you RSVP and plan to pay at the location then ensure that you don't no show, the cost will come out of our pockets.

Location

We are in a Pavilion at Hermann Park near the corner of Fannin & North Macgregor (please see the map in the Files section). We are right near a children's playground area, complete with a water splash play area to cool off in. We ARE allowed to bring our personal alcoholic beverages, just no glass containers. For those who like to fish, McGovern Lake is right nearby also. Also good news is that the restrooms, both men & women are right there in our pavilion.

Parking

I think the medical center parking garage at the corner is probably the closest parking location.
