On August 18th at 6:08pm (or, 8/18 at 18:08) we’ll be meeting at Veterans Memorial Park in Tonawanda for an evening of FUN!
Veterans Memorial Park is right across from the Niagara River, so if you’d like (and your adult partner has their fishing license) you can bring your fishing gear.
Mark this date on your calendar… details to come…
