June is Parks Month
Held in conjunction with our inaugural Community Farmers Market on June 28 this will be a fun day to celebrate our wonderful new park. Of course the centerpiece of the event will be our first Farmers Market.
Meet your neighbors, enjoy some company and get some great farmers market items! Things will start with a bang as we have live music on the Celebration Ford Soundstage along with a barbecue on the Sportsplex Deck! There is no charge to attend. The barbecue will be of course a small fee. If any group would like to sponsor an event (i.e. bouncy tents, music, magic acts etc.) please contact the Rec Office at 435-3622. We have all kinds of options open all summer long!

Just a reminder teams looking to host practice times should pre-book diamonds at the Rec office (435-3622) or by email at msmn.rec.brd@sasktel.net. Teams who pre-book take priority (regardless of age) over those who do not pre-book. If you are looking for other Minor Ball information please go to our Minor Ball website at moosominrangers.ca.
