Totstock Festival this Sunday June 27 at Sorauren

On Sunday, June 27th, from 2-5pm, Sorauren Park will come alive with song, dance, stories and more.

Brought to you by the totsquad (and lots of volunteer moms and dads, join us!), totstock is a vibrant, noisy, whimsical celebration of family and community.

There will be live music, children’s games and activities, story-telling & puppet shows, great food & a rollicking good time all in support of the Wabash Building Society in particular & the common good in general.

Please consider bringing:

  • Your child's bike or trike for the bicycle parade

  • A sunhat and a reusable bottle or mug

  • A pocketful of toonies (this is a fundraiser after all)

  1. Wabash Building Society web site not updated in more than 2 years. What is current situation?

  2. As the Society was successful in achieving the first phase of their project, they now mainly update through the site of the community park: http://www.soraurenpark.com/

    I'm glad they're keeping the old site up, though, because it's got a lot of great information on it and documents the community process quite well.
