FOCUS - SEPTEMBER 2017 43 Another successful Ribfest weekend Dear Editor Although the weather didn’t cooperate as it did last year, we still had 16,000 people through the entrance, five renowned ribbers, a premium craft beer supplier, music acts for all ages and genre, along with many vendors and artisans. Proceeds of the ribfest are pledged to the Oak Ridges Hospice of Durham as well as other local, national and international projects of the Rotary Club of Port Perry. The Port Perry Waterfront Rotary Ribfest is made possible by our sponsors and executed with the support and dedication of the many VOLUNTEERS. Thank you! New this year was a “Dream Cruise Vacation” draw with a value of $9999. Ticket sales were brisk over the last several months and the winner was local resident Jillian Howsam Adomeit. This draw was sponsored by Expedia CruiseShipCenters® and Royal Caribbean. Overall feedback from the public in attendance was “a well organized, family-focused, environmentally conscious, entertaining event.” Thank you to everyone who attended and/or participated.
