Saturday August 23 is quickly approaching and plans are well underway for another memorable Bowfest.
With any community event like Bowfest, the success is dependent on the hard work and dedication of it's many volunteers.
This year we have a number of community groups helping out: the Community Choir will be manning the gates, the Legion will run the beer garden, Bowen Island Community Recreation will be hosting some of the fun on the field, the Bowfest Country Fair Tent will be hosted by the Young Farmers of Bowen Program and the Farmers’ Markets. We are also in discussions with the Bowen Football Club regarding fun and games for the middle field, where we also hope to see the return of the ever-popular Flow Riders.
Even with the help of these wonderful groups there are still many other things planned that we could use your help with.
If you have helped in previous years, or looking for a way to be involved in your community, this is a great opportunity to contribute to one of Bowen Islands longest running events and maybe meet some new people along the way.
Can you spare a few hours setting up or tearing down, selling tickets for rides, cleaning up on the day after, or a perhaps in a specific role such as coordinator for the Lip Synch or Dunk Tank?
THEN WE WANT YOU!
All are invited to a community meeting on Saturday July 26, 10am at the Legion where we will be seeking input on this year’s Bowfest, accepting volunteers and assigning these tasks.
Once again, Bowfest is our annual summer COMMUNITY festival which is run by, and for the community. We hope to see you there.
