The Downtowm Dartmouth Summer Crew hosted the Park Avenue Open Ovens today.
If you have never been to an Open Oven, you can find the details and checklist at dartmouth-oven.com/openoven
This event begins early summer and continues until the end of August, so time is running out (one more Thursday and Saturday with a likely opening on Labour Day Monday, but there are hopes to keep the oven open a little longer this year)
