tables outside of it. The sponsors of this equipment are all written on the tables. This club made sure people had a good time as the BBQ featured hamburgers, hot-dogs, smokies, fresh fruits and vegetables, juice, and bottled water, as well as, free ice-cream from Little Red Wagon. Also featured at the event was a fun and friendly street hockey game for all ages with the Jr. B. Rangers hockey players at the outdoor rink.
