Halloween Boogie |
October 31st - November 1st |
We will be hosting our annual pot luck feast and dress 'em up extravaganza! Any suggestions for a theme this year? Bring one of your favorite dishes. This food experience has been known to put Edmonton's food fair to shame. Dinner will start around 6:00 PM. We will also be presenting our Eden North awards. We will be honouring those who have helped make Eden the best place to skydive everrrr. We could really use your input in choosing the individuals that stand out in the following categories: Instructor / Coach of the year; Tandem Master; Videographer; Drop zone superstar - to the one who make's the DZ a better place; Skydiver of the year; Shining new star - to the novice of the year. Please email us your choice for each category, do not be bashful, we need your input. Chris Thombs is also hosting his 2nd annual film festival that evening; we can only hope that the entries are as good as last year's.
