Meetup in the Stadtpark to celebrate Canada Day

Hey there, I'm a canadian who has been in Hamburg for a year now, and I unfortunatly did absolutly nothing last July 1st.

So this year I'm going start early and ask if anyone is planning at least a small get together to celebrate Canada's birthday.

First, I suppose, is to ask if anyone would be interested at all.

count me in and I'll bring family plus my brother and wife who are also Canadian. We did a Canadaday meet in the Stadtpark one year with BBQ.

Wanna come this weekend to the Stadtpark for "munch with the bunch"?

Yeah I saw that barbecue thing, was thinking of posting that I'll attend, then I realized I had no kids (damn, how did I miss that one) and it seemed more like a family thing. But I might show up, will have to talk to the husband once he is back from the business trip first...but I'm definetely interested.

As for Canada day, depending on what and were I can probably drag along my husband and a few people (all german, but great people) A barbecue sounds great, is there a curfue on the park though? I wouldn't want to get there and be kicked out early. Then again, for the ones who want to, we could always crawl to a nearby pub afterwards.

it not a kids "only" verein u are gladly invited cause it's been expanded to those few without kids LOL.

what about those who are young enough to be considered kids by few?? :-)

My husband and I don't have kids but we are going to the picnic tomorrow. And I know a Canadian that might be interested in a Canada day thing.

The Canada day thing doesn't have to be joined by Canadians only! Its an excuse for a party to which everyone is welcomed.

Well 2 Americans here who are up for a party. We'd also like a get-together for 4th of July.

We're gonna need flags.
We're gonna need flags, and beer, and a couple barbeques, and fireworks.
Moosehead, or Steamwhistle, or Keith's Pale Ale, or some Amsterdam Nut Brown...
I am starting to think about how great it would be to have a 24 of any one of those.
Anyone taking a trip home before Canada Day? :)
Happy Victoria Day, by the way. God bless 'er, and the official start of summer.

I'm a patriotic Canadian and up for hanging out on Canada day!!! Who is with me??

p.s. I'm fully equipped with flags ...and a t-shirt that says Canadian girls kick ass

I'm up for a Canada Day thing. I can ask for the day / evening off cuz the next rotation isn't out yet...

There's also a Germany - Canada basketball game happening July 9 at Color Line, eh?

I can feel some sorta inertia building here, folks. Gather up, all ye Canadians.

...I'm being pulled into the vortex of maple leaves...

24 of Canada Dry and some Blue?

Just begged to Dare for some cookies in time for Canada Day.

Sorry, I've been busy this week. Bit of a whirlwind!

So, how about listing possible places where we could hang out? Unless someone owns a house with a proper background which they would be willing to share, I suggest a public place such as the Stadtpark or we can invade a Scottish pub...or any pub. I will not, unfortunatly, be going to Canada before July 1st (will be going later in the summer though, I can take small orders for those who want some important dearly missed Canadian goods)

I have 1 huge canadian flag, and 1 t-shirt...I can find some facepaint somewhere lol.

Stadtpark is always good and very central plus space.

t-shirt is not necessary, topless will do

Good news,

the importer of Molson and Dare products is gonna fork out some stuff(give aways). I'm gonna need a head count(approx.) so no one goes empty handed.

1.Who wants some Molson Canadian?

2.Who wants some Dare cookies?

3.Who wants me to write "I'm a Canadian gal!" on there bare breast?

These:

and

this:

Give aways? As in "Giving away"? As in free graf?
Sounds too good to be true, but if the molson faerie is doing rounds,
she can always stop at my door.

Give away!?

How? Why? Where?

Woot!

On a different note...July 1st is on a Tuesday. Does it suit everyone who wants to celebrate to party on a word day afternoon/evening? Are we going to do this at the Stadpark, or does someone have maybe a backyard/better location, in mind/to offer?

Woot beer!

Well thats what the lady said and its what I asked for so I say lets see what turns up.

Canadian girls dont freeze

Does anyone wanna move the festivities to the weekend? Dont hit me

haha, that was what I was aiming for. I think doing in the Saturday before, or after, makes a bit more sense for us poor expats. But, where are all the other canadians? I know there to be at least 3 more around here!! No?

Shall I be daring and suggest a joint American/Canadian celebration? (dont hit me!!) We can call it Everything Above Mexico Day!

Well, if it was on the weekend I might be able to convince the family to join the festivities. We already have the flags and T-shirts. Can anybody make poutine, beaver tails, or butter tarts?

btw - that's a nice picture of me you posted dude!

Figgy is that you...wow I love how you show your patriotism.

What weekend are you all thinking of?

I can make butter tarts.

Weekend of 5th/6th is good for me.

weekend of July 5/6 sounds good for me too.

Darn...can't make it that weekend!

Yeah it's from that shoot we did on the shores of Hudson Bay! Who needs Jamaica

There's is the question on the 4th of July thread if we wanna merge canada day together with ID4 (north of Mexican border day)LOL

opinions? and do it on 5/6 weekend I guess

That's not fair! You'd be passing up Independence day! And just celebrating YOUR day...can it be for both (Canada day and 4th of July)? I'd like to join, but I'm not sure if I have to work...oh, and Marie-Anne, my dad is French-Canadian too but never heard of any "Canada day" is this like 4th of July to Americans (without the bloody war)?

Oh, silly me! I just saw what you meant mapleleafdude

lol, Was your Dad born in Canada, Girl? If he was he should know Canada Day...unless he's from Quebec I suppose. LOL then he might have ignored it.

Oh, and the question about the 4th of July is on this thread Mapleleaf...see, up there...under Marie-Anne

whoops I'll ask the folks from south off the border then now I guess

Who want's some Molson Canadian and who wants Dare Maple Cookies?

I'm ordering soon and I need your orders.

Molson Canadian is 2,-€ per bottle(341ml) incl. tax /case of 24 for 42€ (per bottle 1,75)
great for Canada Day and inviting friends over to a BBQ

Pack of Dare Maple Cookies is 4,29€ (350g) /half a dozen(6!) 24,-€ (per pack 4,-€)
You could share them but why? Eat'm yourself. Just to good to share

Pick-up in Hamburg or Bad Segeberg maybe delivered if I have the time. PM if you have questions.

Note:If possible order a case so I dont have to start counting bottles.

Just a reminder that the date is coming closer! So everyone say "I" that wants to come and also if you want anything from above.

If its not that many I might just do it in my backyard(Reinbek)

Howzitgoineh?

fineeh!

I tellya, that soccer game lass night was sumpn' broodle.

So like, brewski? Too bad, gotta watch that Canadian tire.

Me and my husband are in. I'll have to let you know about the beer and cookies, will talk with him this weekend.

So I've order some brew eh! And some ...? you know what I mean...those things you eat that look like a leaf duh!

Have we settled on a location?

is your place is up for grabs ?

Well I am a little off the beaten path in Reinbek but I would do it if it turns out to be as few as seams the case at the moment. My fav would still be Stadtpark.

Happy Canada Day, everyone!!
Is there a consensus for this weekend, or what, eh?
Will we have a 49 Degrees North Celebration dya think?

just a stupid question regarding the topic title... erm... why exactly do you guys still have to decide the date??? time and venue ok, but date???

Happy Canada Day!

Happy Canada day!

OH CANADA, OUR HOME...and so on :::screeching voice:::

So Sat. or Sunday?

Stadtpark or my place?

HAPPY CANADA DAY!!!

am sick...cold, cough...the whole deal. Will let you know later this week how I feel.

Put on a hat and scarf when you go outside!

Is this just for canadians ey, or can anyone come if they are aboot. (tries to talk like a canadian lol, and probably fails miserably)

I'd say everyone who is a canadian at heart can come...you might have to prove yourself by signing the anthem though
