From Lewiston’s Bday #2 to Building Your Own Doughnut at Modern Jelly, here’s what’s up this weekend in YYC.
Lewiston’s BDAY #2 happens on May 25th. Join in on this special event to remember a little lion that left a big legacy. This will be an opportunity to raise money for Spinal Muscular Astrophy (SMA) as well as a night of celebrating, memory making, and dancing. This event is, of course, in support of a great cause but guests can also look forward to complimentary bevvies and small bites, a silent auction from local vendors, a live ‘hot date’ auction, great music and an amazing and powerful environment.

We ‘donut’ know what we would do without tasty doughnuts. This Sunday, attend an exclusive behind-the-scenes tour of Modern Jelly Doughnuts as part of the Best of Calgary Ideas Week labs. The tour will be followed by a lesson on how to make your own delicate, sweet treats. Whatever flavour gets you going, Calgary’s best doughnut shop will help you create it so it can be then deliciously demolished. Tea and coffee as well as your own custom doughnut will be included.
