Chinatown Street Festival: Calgary Chess Club

Hello Everybody,

After a huge success in promoting chess at the Inglewood Sunfest festival, the Calgary Chess Club has decided that we will do the same for the upcoming Chinatown Street Festival on August 15th. We would like to invite you to come down to this festival, play chess, and help promote our club. We will also bring our the giant chess set.

The festival opens to public at 10:00 am and will continue until 8:00 pm. If you come to the festival at around 11:30 am you will witness the Chinese traditional "lion dance". There are other activities in this festival including: table tennis, 3 on 3 soccer, mini golf, mahjong, and EVEN CHINESE CHESS.

If you would like to volunteer in helping promote our chess club in this festival, then please contact me at simong89@yahoo dot ca. The volunteer work isn't very hard; it can be a lot of fun.

-Set up the boards/pieces before the start of the festival
-Clean up at the end of the festival
