Are the rides still going today in the rain?
THANK YOU Bowmanville!
Our Ribfest-Bowmanville Rotary event takes months of planning from our Rotary volunteers.
Without you and our sponsors we could not make this event happen.
The cost to run an event of this scale is extraordinary.
This year we implemented a $2 entrance fee ($5 for an entire family) to help mitigate these costs.
None of our volunteers are paid which means all money raised goes directly back into our community.
We are able to support many of our local community partners, when events like this are a success.
We are thankful for two beautiful days so far. The great weather certainly helps bring out our wonderful community, which in turn, helps us raise more funds.
We are back today with a full line of great music and great food.
We are here today from 12 noon until 8pm.
Thank you!! ... See MoreSee Less
