On Sunday, August 23rd at the Mississauga Valley Arena, over 3000 residents of the Mississauga East-Cooksville area attended M.P.P Peter Fonseca's Annual Free Community BBQ. It was an awesome turnout! Everyone enjoyed the thick juicy burgers, the tangy three bean salad, the refreshing beverages, and scrumptious Ontario apples! The entertainment was spectacular! Gunter and Serega sang and played music that made you want to get up and dance while the Urban Youth Dancers showed off their hype hip hop moves. Pompina the clown, Elmo and Dora entertained the youth. Children bounced around in the bouncy castle, had their faces painted, received crayons and colouring books, got henna tattoos, and enjoyed some buttery popcorn and sweet cotton candy. There were tons of free give-aways; coffee mugs, re-usable grocery bags, pins, fans, and lots of cool prizes for kids. Over 15 community organizations joined Peter at the BBQ to promote and educate the public on important issues such as energy conservation by Enersource, proper hand washing by Peel Health, safe communities by Peel Crime Stoppers, keeping fit with YMCA and so much more. Peter was ecstatic to have such a huge turn-out this year and plans to make next year's bbq bigger and better as he celebrates his 5th anniversary. Mark your calendars for next year's huge celebration at the Mississauga Valley Park; hope to see you there again!
