✨A big THANK YOU to our volunteers! 🙏
As the tents come down and we catch our breath, we want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to the incredible volunteers who made this weekend possible.
From our student volunteers, community partners, Friends of Rotary, members from other Rotary clubs, and our own dedicated Rotarians — your time, energy, and enthusiasm helped create another unforgettable weekend for our community. Your support was invaluable, especially during yesterday's less-than-ideal weather conditions. Rain or shine, you were there helping us get the job done, and we couldn't be more grateful.
A very special shoutout goes to the volunteers from St. Mary's Cement, who showed up in a big way all weekend long. Every day of this weekend (including the day before set up and the day after for take down) you guys were there with a friendly smile, always willing to help. We couldn't have done it without your team of volunteers, so thank you so so much.
To our sponsors, vendors, entertainers, volunteers, and everyone who came out to support us — thank you for making Ribfest such a tremendous success.
Bowmanville, you showed up once again, and we're proud to call #bowmanvilleribfest.#ThankYouVolunteersb#RotaryInActiono#ServiceAboveSelfnAction #ServiceAboveSelf ... See MoreSee Less

Great job crew! Hopefully to can catch some well deserved R&R!
With Friday and Saturday beautiful days, and despite the rain today, the turnout was truly remarkable. Volunteering at the entrance table over the past two days, I had the privilege of witnessing firsthand the incredible spirit of our community, with people arriving continuously to lend their support. It was a tremendous event with a tremendous outcome, raising important funds for local initiatives. Moments like these show what we can achieve when we come together — neighbours helping neighbours and building an even stronger Bowmanville.
What an incredible group of dedicated Bowmanville Rotarians ( I know some are missing from this pic)! Thank you for all of your hard work, countless hours, and commitment to bringing Bowmanville Ribfest back to our community. Your efforts in organizing every detail helped create a fantastic weekend filled with great food, entertainment, and community spirit. We are grateful for everything you do to make events like this possible and for the positive impact you continue to have on our community. 👏❤️
