Celebrating the start of a terrific 2009 summer season, our club set up a recruiting booth at the annual Lilac Festival on 4th Street in Calgary's Mission neighbourhood. Lilac Fest is the first of the summer street festivals and attracts around 125,000 people each year. Our brand new Auskick target from Australia was a hit with kids and adults alike, and we managed to take down 154 expressions of interest from potential players during the day.Thank-you to all club volunteers who worked on the booth and in the beer gardens - the day was an unqualified success. And welcome to all the new Kookaburras who signed up for summer footy!
