We are very fortunate to have an amazing pool of photographers on hand at Ribfest including Jody Phillips and Jason Freeze from Bscene and all of our wonderful patrons who were snapping pictures like crazy. Can’t wait to see all of the pics on social media.
Of course, the festival is not the same without the talented entertainers both local and non-local! It’s so much fun when the performers/bands put on there show, you can tell they love what they do by the amount of energy they put into their shows. There’s so much great talent that has come across the Brantford Ribfest stage and we are quite honored to have had them perform. Also Whimsical Players and the Brantford Batman for dressing up in the heat and coming down just to entertain the Kids.
I cannot forget to thank all of the Brantford Ribfest patrons some of who have attended yearly and some for the first time. We appreciate your patronage greatly as we grow bigger yearly and Hope to have a little bit of something for everybody.
There are so many others who have helped along the way and many more who will help with future festivals. I hope I didn’t forget anyone, there are so many people to thank and I wouldn’t be surprised that I did.. If I have please, send me a message if you’re not listed and I will genuinely add you.. it’s post festival brain, I swear!
