Location and parking
All the action happens at Neary Elementary School (map). You can park in the Neary or Trottier lots, but the road between the two schools will be closed, so you’ll need to access Neary via Parkerville Road and Trottier via the Deerfoot Road entrance.
There will also be a designated pick-up/drop-off area at Lundblad Field off Parkerville Road. Note that no parking will be allowed on the east side of Parkerville Road.
Food
A varied menu of finger foods and treats will be available for purchase from local establishments including pizza from Domino’s, sandwiches from Quizno’s, sushi and chicken wings from Yama Zakura, ribs and sausage sandwiches from Mr. Jack’s Catering, and grilled hamburgers and hotdogs. Dessert options include ice cream from The Creamery along with typical carnival fare like fried dough, pretzels, cotton candy and slushies.
Thank you to Robin Martin and her team for being the inspiration and hard work behind this fantastic event each year. Thank you to Doreen Ferguson and the Recreation Department along with all other all other town departments that work together to make this a more successful event each year. What a wonderful night for family and friends to enjoy time together. We make special memories each year. Thanks to all!
Thank you for all this info! We would have never thought to bring swimsuits and towels for the bubble romp. You saved us two hours of whining about sticky, wet clothes. Now the kids will just whine about not having slushies AND cotton candy. At least that’s something. ;-)
