Point Grey Fiesta

Friday, we happened to drive by Trimble Park and saw them setting up the rides.

This seems very much like the Oak Bay Tea Party at Willow's Beach.  Richard and his friends certainly had a lot of fun at it so I imagine it's a big deal for kids here. There is a parade Saturday morning and road closure on 10th but we won't be out and about.






We always used to stroll down to the Oak Bay Tea Party to take a look around and to get the famous "Baron of Beef"....always excellent!  Apparently they bar-b-q 500 kilograms of top inside round beef.


And not to be missed and only in Oak Bay...

Floating Tea Cup Challenge at the Oak Bay Tea Party

2018
Mayor Nils Jensen will be facing challenger(s) each year in the Floating Tea Cup Race.  Made of fibre glass and powered by mis-matched oars, it's a race of skill and daring.  Pull too hard on the oars and your saucer may dip into the water and you're sunk!  Not to fear, the Oak Bay Sea Rescue Society rescue boat is close by.
