Word comes Friday that the Valley Park Go Green Cricket Field Project will host its second Crazy for Cricket Sleepover Event at Valley Park Middle School (VPMS) this Valentines Day, February 14, 2015. It’s no sleepover of course because the idea is to stay up all night and watch the 2015 ICC World Cup Match between India and Pakistan. The game unfolds in Adelaide Australia and will be viewed by guests on the Rogers feed of the game on the back wall of the school’s auditorium. The news release dated January 30, 2015 urges everyone to bring “loved ones, pillows and blankets” in time for the start of entertainment at 9 p.m. The cricket match begins at 10.30 p.m. and everyone goes home by no later than 6.30 a.m. VPMS is at 130 Overlea Blvd on the northwest corner of Don Mills Rd and Overlea. The Consuls General of India and Pakistan are scheduled to be there and the goal is to break Go Green’s 2011 record for hosting Canada’s largest sleepover ever. The release tells of the $1.8 million Valley Park Go Green Cricket Field Project which was built last year. It is an environmentally sustainable not-for-profit cricket field for mostly South Asian new immigrant families in the VPMS backyard and adjacent sub-licensed Hydro land. Fundraising continues for outdoor LED sports lights
