What a day to celebrate being a Calgarian by getting to know our neighbours and supporters!
The event began with set up bright and early at 8am! Putting up tents and displaying the bake sale items. Setting up tables and chairs and tidying around the Resource Centre so that our neighbours and friends could come in and have a look at our brand new kitchen.
Then, the DJ set up his station and once the ponies and Butterfield Acre’s petting zoo arrived we knew the party was going to be a hit! The children enjoyed every moment.
Avatara Pizza served up hot and delicious pizzas for everyone with their food truck leaving smiles on everyone’s faces as they filled their bellies and partied on the block with their families. The weather didn’t disappoint and the sun shined down making it a beautiful day for getting to know our neighbours and for our neighbours to get to know what we do here a Made by Momma. The party continued with a palm reader, face painters, and henna tattoo artists as well as crafts and lots of delicious baked goodies for sale for a great cause: helping mums with small children who are experiencing a crisis in their lives.
Our sincerest thanks to the volunteers and the funding that made our party such a huge success. Our Neighbour Day Block Party 2017 was made possible by the Community Fund for Canada’s 150th, a collaboration between Calgary Foundation, the Government of Canada, and extraordinary leaders from coast to coast to coast.
