Armstrong residents are being told to cram it – the cruiser that is.
Valley First Music in the Park will close out the 2019 season with 6 Shades of Grey with the fourth annual Cram the Cruiser event Friday, Aug. 23.
North Okanagan RCMP are partnering with the City of Armstrong, Township of Spallumcheen, Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce and Valley First to fill the shelves of the local food bank.
Beginning at 6 p.m., residents and visitors are invited to "Cram the Cruiser" with donations of non-perishable items which can include food, laundry and dish soap, feminine hygiene products and other toiletries.
“The last three years the community has been very generous and we hope this will continue on ‘Cram the Cruiser’ night,” said Wanda Villeneuve, with Valley First.
In addition to cramming the cruiser, Armstrong Mayor Chris Pieper and Spallumcheen Mayor Christine Fraser have challenged their communities to drop off items at the municipal halls with the goal of filling their trucks.
“In 2017, the City of Armstrong collected the most by weight and in 2018, the Township of Spallumcheen did,’ said Peter Rotzetter, president Armstrong Spallumcheen Chamber of Commerce. “Who will collect the most this year prior to 6pm on August 23?”
The music will kick off at 7 p.m.
