River Rafting: It's Not On (Cancelled due to lack of interest) Sunday July 22, 2018
Original details listed in italics: *As long as the weather holds out; this is a weather-dependent club activity. Forecast for a week ahead looks good so far. Please - if you're interested:
Cost: 6 person raft- $75, life jackets are $5, and you can make an arrangement to either park and have a ride to Shouldice Park by Lazy Day Raft Rentals, or pick up your raft directly and then return it after you have rafted. We will meet at Shouldice Park location (4911 Monserrat Drive NW) at 12:30 PM and launch from Shouldice Park at 1:00 PM . This is a 2.5 hour rafting excursion between Shouldice Park and Lazy Day Raft's location in Sunnyside. Disclaimer notice: The Calgary Parrot Head Club takes no responsiblity for loss of personal items, injury, or death. Also: No alcoholic beverages are permitted on the river within the city limits. So it'll have to be "Yo ho ho and a bottle of gatorade." After rafting, we plan to meet at Julio's Barrio: 1110 Memorial Dr NW, at about 3:30 pm (give or take). This is 1 km west from Lazy Day Raft Rentals / the end location of rafting. Those who don't wanna raft but wanna go to the Happy Hour: See details about Julio's Barrio above. We have reservations under the "Calgary Parrot Head Club". Note! Julio's automatically adds 18% gratuity to your bill with parties of over 6 people (and that'll include us).

(Please refer to payment information below, to get location via Email.) While she may be making her first trip to Alberta, she's been entertaining Albertan's and other Canadian fans for years in Puerto Vallarta and Bucerias, Mexican towns popular with Canadian ex-pats, snowbirds and tourists. The native of Washington State burst onto the scene in 2013 with the release of her Mexico-themed debut CD "Edge of the Ocean" and rose to the top of the trop rock genre with her critically acclaimed "Dream in Blue" album and the continent-wide tour that followed its release. The four Trop Rock Music Awards nominations she received last year were the most of any artist last year, and the most ever earned by a female artist. She took home trophies in three of the four categories in which she was nominated, including Female Vocalist of the Year, Song of the Year for her sassy beach drinking song "Tequila Talking" and the Horizon Award, recognizing her as the genre's rising star. She'll be accompanied by singer-guitarist and co-writer Rob Hill. Additonally: Check out Phlockers Magazine, March 2016 issue: Page 15 shows Brittany Kingery's appearance date in Calgary.
