This summer, the CAA Savings Squad is hitting the road in the Niagara Region and making appearances at a variety of festivals and events throughout the community. If you see us out at the following events, make sure to say, “Hey!” and swipe your CAA card to win some of the coolest swag around. 

Wing Fest

July 27-28, 2019
Rennie Park, Port Dalhousie

Attention all chicken wing lovers! Come out to Rennie Park in St. Catharines from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on Saturday, July 27, and 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Sunday, July 28,  and help crown the ultimate Chicken Wing Champ. Enjoy all types of live entertainment, including music, ping pong competitions and an eating contest. Taste a variety of food favourites while you browse local vendors in the outdoor market.

The best part? All proceeds raised from the event will be donated to Community Care of St. Catharines and Thorold.
