Review of Ribfest
 
Ian and Alan did a fantastic job of Co-ordinating and we gave them a very 'special thank you'
 
Ian reviewed the number of kegs of beer sold and noted that all the corn was donated by Thrifty's.  He also mentioned that none of this would be possible without the Support of The City of Port Moody and especially our Mayor Mike Clay who worked every day!!!  How many Mayors would 'bus' tables and he did every night until late.
 
Rib Running is a very important job [keeps everyone in the bar and Gayle & Stevi did a great job along with all their 'team'.  The soccer club was outstanding with helping with that as well.  Very well done in spite of some challenges and hero's like Stevi, Mike, Darrell and wives did a fantastic job.
 
Everyone got their exercise for running and delivering orders.  
 
Pogs were an asset to selling the beer in the bar Area lead by Al, Meghan and Linda.
 
Trudy & Elle handled the volunteers and did an outstanding job.  One girl about 14 said "Everyone in Port Moody is here !"
 
People from all over the world attended and the Marketing by Scott was exceptional.  
 
Rotaract did a great job selling the corn.
 
Music & MC was fantastic run by George
 
Kids Zone run by Cleone & Danne was excellent.
 
VERY special mention was given to MAYOR MIKE CLAY and BILL LAWRIE along with Thriftys Franco for their hard work.
 
Wrap up will be held later.
 
WELL DONE !!  EXCELLENT JOB AND CONGRATULATIONS TO ALL !!!
