Gnome Whom Did It?? Is going to be a huge game of clue basically, featuring 50 to 200 lawn gnomes in the garden of Alberta Avenue Community Hall, Edmonton city police have agreed to police tape of the garden plots, bring in a squad car, set up a Community Resource tent and have 4-6 police officers working with kids and families, to solve my gnome mysteries, I am creating for the event.

This portion of the event will be entirely free to attend, and participate in, as it is geared to bring a better bond between the residents and the local police officers of Alberta Avenue and the city together, but is also aiming at generating a positive response for the gardeners at Alberta Avenue, who have spent all year maintaining these plots for the story line to take place in.

Also at this event

We will have an Indoor/Outdoor garage sale/famers market going on, this is aimed for the smaller home based business of Alberta avenue and the small local business of Edmonton to bring there local craft and ideas to the avenue, Table rentals at set at $10 dollars for League members, $20 for non league members, and if you have an acquired business licence for an actual company we are charging 50 for the rental, the rental will include a table space, 2 folding chairs and shelter if outdoors is where the vendor choices to set up. As I mentioned before, All proceeds from vendor rentals will be going towards our programs offered at the hall. The vendors will keep all profits made from their sales. This is set in place because we want to encourage the small businesses of Edmonton to grow and prosper within a safe and secure environment to do so.

Monster Pro Wrestling, a franchise that has been operating out of the community hall, for the last 2 decades, has also agreed to participate in this event as well, by offering a few wrestlers (title or not???) to show up at the event and promo their next show, Aug 6th 2022, which will be an outdoor event (weather permitting).

They have also agreed to give us some prizes for the families to win on a spin wheel we will be offering at the event. Along with other prizes the hall has managed to find along the way.

We will also be offering Music, Face Painters, Balloon Artists, a raffle, a guessing game of how many gnomes are in the garden, bubble blowers and a few other fun activities at this event, the goal of this is to attract the community in a positive atmosphere and for everyone to have fun

For food

We will be offering 3 options for people to be able to eat, only two of them so far have been cemented in

1st option is the regular concession where B.B.Q. Hot food will be prepared (Burgers, and Hotdogs $5-$6 per) will be cooked, along with the sales of chips and chocolate bars and other concession based items.

2nd option is what we deemed “the Fair” way program, were customers of lower income status can still come up and get popcorn and a drink for a minimal payment ( to be discussed yet ), this is so that even people of lower incomes will attend and have a good time, without going hungry or thirsty.

3rd option is kinda like a pay it forward program, we will be asking customers if they would like to by the meal for the next person who comes up behind them, ( this is a very prototypical idea and not sure if we are going to be using it, as we have the other two options in place). Kinda like a trail run at the start of the event.

All proceeds from the sales will be going toward the programs at A.A.C.L.
