The River Gambler
PRESENTS
Tailgate
10:00AM – 12:45PM
Our Lake N’ Bake adventure began with a 3-hour tailgate prior to the main event, where attendees had the opportunity to interact with a diverse range of brands for education on new and current product offerings. Many attendees had never attended a canna-event and were delighted by the intimate setting and concept of engaging different brands while at a party rather than a trade show type event. Our pre-event tailgate set the stage for an epic experience ahead. Many of you got to connect, explore, and elevate your journey during our Lake N’ Bake event – and that’s our goal!
Our friends over at Montrose setup an amazing tent where our brand partners got to engage not only CannSell certified consumers, but also members of the general public who find it hard to navigate the rapidly evolving product landscape. We’re looking forward to improving and sharing our next adventure with you.
Address: 176 Cherry St, Toronto, ON M5A 1A4
