CANADA DAY EVE CAMP OUT AT UPI

Hey Folks, its that time of year again. Its time for our 
traditional Canada Day Eve camp out at UPI. This has been a 
blast in past years, with... (never mind the activities, 
trust me they were fun).

We have a large bond fire, fireworks and celebratory 
goodies...

Don't forget to stop a Bakers store and grab a few 
fireworks, if everyone brings a few we will have a large 
display again.

If any one wants to help set up (just need to get firewood 
and put it near the fire pit) let me know.

Show up anytime on June 30 and be prepared to Party!
