CORE is Having a Halloween Bash<\/span> <\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/h1>\n

JOIN CORE’s HALLOWEEN BASH ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31, AT 12 NOON <\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/h2>\n

CORE is hosting an outdoor gathering at Bowness Park on Saturday, October 31 starting at 12 Noon to 4 pm.<\/span>
\n<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The Halloween Bash will be held at Bowness Park, located at 8900 – 48th Ave. NW. We will be gathering at Picnic Site 3 <\/a>(the PDF map is at bottom of Calgary Parks page) for campfires, picnic and a cookout at noon, followed by a walking circuit through Bowness and Barker Parks, along 85th street bridge (approx 6kms). CORE will supply the wood for the fires. All you need to bring is your own lunch e.g. weiners, sausages, marshmallows, smores and a hot or cold beverage. Plus campfire roasting sticks. We will have a fire for roasting and a BBQ going for other cooking. MASKS are welcome! Get creative and let’s see who can come with the scariest, funniest and most imaginative masks! There will be prizes awarded. Since there is a large shelter available at the site, the event will go, unless we are having torrential rainstorms! For more information email Carol at mailbox@corehike.org<\/a> . (Large parking lot accessible near the site).
