We’ve been working hard to bring this little project to life and we can’t wait to share it with you! 💕✨

Come find us at the Japanese Matsuri on Saturday August 15th as we debut our new Candy Bouquets trailer.

Matsuri is one of our most favourite times of the year, and we couldn’t think of a better place to introduce our new setup! 🇯🇵❤️

Come celebrate with us at Matsuri!

Saturday night, the LJCA attended the Border Cats second home game in the chill Tiki Bar above the 3rd base concession stand. What a great spot to watch the game - and a win to boot! Thanks to everyone who came out to enjoy the evening!

We are just over two weeks out from Saturday night of Border Cats opening weekend! I hope you can join us in the 3rd baseline patio (aka. the area where your knees aren't in the back of the person in-front of you!) for some socializing (and baseball watching)! We had so much fun last year and hope to have even more people join us.

Details are below - please reply here or dm Kristi Judge to confirm your spot.

Payment can be made by e-transfer to [email protected] (please note name(s) and # of and type of tickets) or by cash on game day.

Happi coats are optional (but highly encouraged!)

Please RSVP by Thursday, May 28th.
