Glover Park Day

This past Saturday (June 5, 2010) was Glover Park Day at Guy Mason. This happens every year. However, in spite of living in this area for six years, this was the first time I went. It proved to be a nice afternoon out. A lot of the stalls and activities out there are for children, but there was shopping and food to keep us happy. At some booths they were conducting science experiments for children, there was a live band playing and the kids were happily dancing, most of the businesses in the area had a booth there. There were a number of other stalls selling jewellery, clothes and other knick knacks. In the area of the Russian Composers Meadow was a flea market. A lot of the restaurants were giving free sampling. The chicken wings (Spicy Jamaican Jerk Sauce with Mango Honey Tanch) from Town Hall were just DIVINE! However, they were only giving one wing for sampling and weren't selling them that day. Too bad! After the sampling, I had the chicken kabob from Savoy suites and the mac and cheese (which was actually farfalla and cheese) from Old Europe. We finally washed it all down German coffee with vanilla ice cream! (also from Old Europe) All SOOOO good! :) Ace hardware was handing out free reusable bags with a balsa wood model plane kit and a 20% coupon for the day. So after GP day, a trip to Ace Hardware was made where I bought a pot for my money plant! :)
