Enter Contest to Win Your Way into Backyard Summer Social
Socializing online could be the ticket to helping you socialize in-person at the Backyard Summer Social.

Five Counties Children’s Centre is launching its #LetsBeSocial contest from May 4-17 across its various social media sites. Two tickets are available to be won to the Backyard Summer Social set
for June 24 in the outdoor backyard space at Five Counties in Peterborough. Now in its second year, the Backyard Summer Social is the Centre’s signature fundraising event that features music, food, entertainment, fun activities and more.

Entering the #LetsBeSocial Backyard Summer Social contest is easy. Simply like and share the Backyard Summer Social contest post on Five Counties’ Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or LinkedIn
sites between May 4-17, then tag the person you’d bring in the Comments section of the post. You will then be entered into a draw for two tickets to the Backyard Summer Social.

“The Backyard Summer Social will see our outdoor backyard space transformed into an adults-only gala event that celebrates the arrival of summer, lets you be like a kid again, and allows you to swap out the tux, gown and heels for T-shirt, shorts and sandals all the while supporting a great cause,” says Lyn Giles, Director of Fund Development at Five Counties.
People attending the Backyard Summer Social on June 24 can look forward to:

• Fantastic food/fare catered by La Mesita and SKH Catering.

• Sweet treats from Central Smith and Flossophy.

• Drinks from Rolling Grape and Brock Street Brewery.

• Musical performances by Irish Millie and the Boogie Time Ramblers.

• Live auction and door prizes.

• Axe throwing, lacrosse shootout, inflatable jousting, old-fashioned picnic games and more.
