Annual Thanksgiving Football Game

by

Location – Wisener cottage: “Rigadoon” 33 Henry Street.

Date – Sunday, October 13 2:00pm to 4:00pm

Each year on Thanksgiving a group of folks gather to toss the ol’ pigskin around and have a grand ol’ time. The Wisener Clan invites everyone, from all generations, to join in the fun. Whether you are interested in playing or just watching and socializing with friends and neighbours they’d love to see you all there! It will be a great way to get together one last time before closing up for the winter.

Please bring your own lawn chair/blanket and beverage of choice.

The format of the game is touch football for all ages and everyone gets a turn as Quarterback. Teams are distinguished as “Hats” and “No-Hats” so if you plan to play, please bring a hat with you.

Rain or shine.

See you there!
