AHA MEDIA meets Colorado Church volunteers giving away Free hot dogs in Oppenheimer Park in Vancouver Downtown Eastside on June 9, 2009
AHA MEDIA was strolling by Oppenheimer Park when they noticed a food lineup gathering near the Clubhouse
In the photo below, AHA MEDIA spoke with Julie Ann DeBoer and found out that they were all the way from Colorado! They were visiting our area for a few days and were here to provide food and drink for Park residents today 🙂
In this video, kind Church volunteers give out grilled hot dogs, potato salad and beverages to hungry and happy area residents at Oppenheimer Park in the Vancouver Downtown Eastside ( DTES). Julie Ann Deboer identifies that they are from Colorado when asked by a hungry person in the food lineup.
This was filmed by April Smith of AHA MEDIA on a Nokia N95 mobile cameraphone. April is passionate and skilled in making Nokia films by exploring mobile media production through the camera lens of a cellphone. For a better quality version of this video, please DM April Smith @AprilFilms on Twitter.
