Seniors' Trip to the Fringe

Join us on Tuesday, August 20th for our 3rd annual seniors trip to The Fringe Arts Festival in Edmonton! We will be attending two plays with lots of free time in between to check out street performers, food vendors, and the artisan market. Make sure to bring some spending money and dress for the weather. The venues we have chosen are close together so the day won't require much walking. Venues are also accessible should anyone in wheelchair or walker join us. Please let us know if you have accessibility or hearing impairments. Our $80 fee covers admission to both plays and transportation to and from the event from Griffiths Park Centre (old Boys & Girls Club 5414-6ave). If cost is a barrier, please call 780-725-0582 to discuss your options.
