SATURDAY MAY 23, 2015 at Churchill Square is going to be AMAZING!!

25 #yegfoodtrucks, and 8 of them new to What the Truck?!

10K people have responded on Facebook that they are coming to enjoy some delicious food truck food at our kick off event…that means lots of dirty dishes 😉  we like to leave any site we use for What the Truck?! events as clean OR cleaner than we found them

volunteering alone or with your friends, family, workmates or club members is a GREAT way to team build, meet new people and have fun at the same time
if you’d like to help on Saturday let me know
