Peach, apple, cherry, blueberry – what is your favourite type of pie? Having trouble deciding? Good thing that Rock the Block returns this fall – including the annual pie baking contest! Taste all types of pies and enter your own recipe for a chance to win the title of Manor Park’s Pie Baking Champion! (Commemorative apron and bragging rights included.)
Rock the Block returns on October 1 including an outdoor screening of the movie you voted for. New this year is a live rock bank to keep you moving all evening. Shop our vendors. Stay for dinner from one of our local restaurants. (Don’t forget the popcorn for movie!)
Get creative this fall with an art class at the community center! Our classes are taught by reputable local artists, Lindsay Watson and Laurie Hemmings. With years of experience and immense talent, they can equally guide the beginner and the experienced artist. Register early because these sell out.
You’ll also see the return of super popular Dungeons & Dragons, babysitting workshops, LEGO camps, calligraphy and (new) fluid art!
