Recap: May 10, 2012 Truck Stop

It snowed and hailed in the hour leading up to last night’s Truck Stop, but thankfully the sun came out and the skies cleared up just in time! It was cool and windy, but we Edmontonians are a hardy bunch, especially when there is great food to be had!

Truck Stop in Old Strathcona

Nomad completely sold out, and a number of menu items from the other trucks did as well. Thanks for your support! We hope to see you back in McIntyre Park next Thursday evening for another Truck Stop!

Check out more photos from last night’s event here.

What the Truck?! in Churchill Square is tomorrow!

Aren’t you just loving this weather? We sure are! Tomorrow looks like it’ll be the perfect evening to enjoy some of the best street food Edmonton has to offer. We hope you’ll join us in Churchill Square from 5pm to 9pm to indulge in this amazing menu!

The Square
Nightfall comes earlier these days…stay shortly after the event to see the Square all lit up!

We wanted to take this opportunity to thank a few folks for their help in making tomorrow’s event happen. Of course the City has always been a good partner, and they’ve been very helpful this time around as expected. We also want to thank DECL for once again sponsoring us and lending their support! As you know we like to keep our venues tidy, so we have one again engaged Tri-Line Disposal to provide us with some equipment for that.

We also want to give a big shout out to a new partner – Northlands! They’ve stepped up to help us with line control and are providing stanchions for our use. Follow them on Twitter at @Northlands and thank them when your line is clearly marked tomorrow!

Last but not least we want to give a plug to DJ’s Raebot and wijit who will be spinning tunes for us all evening long. We’re glad to have them on board!

If you’re at all interested in volunteering for the event – setup, cleanup – please let us know by sending Mack an email.

Churchill Square
Imagine this…but full of food trucks and people!

We hope to see you down on the square tomorrow!
