For the 12th consecutive year a Canada Day Picnic is being planned by the committee to be held at Ashburn Park. The park opens at 11 a.m. and activities wind down at 3:30 p.m. with a tug-o-war. This year's big event is for the kids - a dressed up bike parade. Open to everyone 10 years old or younger, the parade will feature prizes in a number of categories including: best dressed, silliest bike and best overall design with the usual fun and games, with soccer, mid- way races, egg toss and much more. The committee invites everyone to come out, enjoy Canada Day, meeting new neigh- bors and get reacquainted with the older ones. Hope to see you there.
