There will be lots of delicious treats to choose from, and every dollar helps support this amazing cause.
But that’s not all — don’t miss our BBQ in support of the IWK next Friday, June 6th! For $4, you’ll get a hot dog or veggie dog along with a drink, and for just $1, you can cool down with a jumbo freezie.
