There was all kinds of fun available over the weekend in Caledon East as the Rotary Club of Bolton hosted their annual Rotaryfest. It opened Friday with a Country Night, sponsored by Fines Ford Lincoln, and the entertainment included a performance of country tunes by Marshall Dane, accompanied by Emile D’Eon on guitar, Kevin Birch on drums and Ben Miller on bass.

Rotarian Scott Fraser, co-chair of Rotaryfest, welcomed the crowds Friday night, accompanied by Dufferin-Caledon MPP Sylvia Jones, Mayor Allan Thompson and Carlos Martins of Fines Ford Lincoln, who sponsored the Friday night activities.

In keeping with tradition, ribs were among the main food items available, and there were lines-ups at the various stands of hungry rib fans. Jamieson Papas of Fat Boys Barbecue was busy putting lots of sauce on this rack.

Shannon Clark and Miranda Wiens were offering samples of the sauce from Jack the Ribber.
